Prepare incoming files for conversion
Get files submitted through a webhook into Convertapi storage, ready for a later conversion step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File (Multipart)
Tool to upload a file via multipart/form-data. use when you need to store a file on convertapi's servers (up to 3 hours) and obtain a fileid for subsequent conversions.
Why this helps
Files arrive through one channel while the conversion work happens somewhere else, creating a handoff to remember.
- Put an incoming file in Convertapi storage without a manual upload.
- Retain the file ID needed for subsequent conversion actions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Convertapi once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to upload the received file to Convertapi multipart storage and report its file ID.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and configure the sending process to include the file.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real file.
