Bring Formdesk context into project PDF handoffs

When a project document is ready, have Notis fetch the form details that help explain where it came from and what it supports.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Form Details

Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific Formdesk form. Use when you have the formId.

Why this helps

A polished PDF can reach a teammate without the form context they need to understand the process behind it.

  • Include useful form context during a project handoff.
  • Avoid manually opening Formdesk to rediscover form details.
  • Keep the document and its source process connected.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect FileToPDF.dev and Formdesk to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to add context to project document handoffs.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to retrieve details for the Formdesk form identified in the webhook request when its PDF is ready.
  • 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a completed project PDF and the associated form ID.

Questions about this workflow

Does this retrieve form submissions?

No. It retrieves details about the Formdesk form itself. Use a separate entry lookup if you need submission data.

What should the webhook include?

Include the form ID and enough document context for Notis to identify the intended project handoff.
