Start an async PDF job from a webhook

Submit large documents without holding up the calling system.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Async Document

Tool to create documents asynchronously from HTML content. Use when generating PDF, XLS, or XLSX documents and you need to poll for completion status or use a callback URL for notification.

Why this helps

Synchronous document generation can time out when reports contain heavy layouts or assets.

  • Supports longer document jobs
  • Keeps webhook callers responsive
  • Enables later completion handling

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect DocRaptor once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Webhook Async PDF Job.
  • 3Tell Notis to submit the webhook HTML asynchronously and record the returned job information.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real HTML payload.

Questions about this workflow

Can I provide a callback URL?

Yes, include the callback requirement in the instruction and payload when supported.

How is completion checked?
