Questions about this workflow
Why use the synchronous conversion action?
Use it when the PDF is available at a direct file link and you need the flipbook URLs as part of the immediate result.
Will it convert every issue update?
Notis should first check whether the update includes a usable direct PDF URL, then skip updates without one.
Can this action convert any document type?
The listed action supports PDF, DOCX, or PPTX through a direct file link. This workflow focuses on PDFs.
