Trigger
Webhook received

Action

Tool to retrieve a public character by its id. use when you need to fetch details of a single public character by providing its unique id.
Why this helps
Teams often have document events coming from tools that do not expose a native trigger in Notis.
- Accept document events from another system
- Centralize character retrieval in Notis
- Keep downstream review consistent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Chatfai in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that reads the webhook payload, finds the supplied public character ID, and retrieves the Chatfai character.
- 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger and use its endpoint in your event source.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real payload with a Google Docs reference and character ID.
Questions about this workflow
