Import remote files into Scale AI from a webhook
When your data already lives at a URL, downloading and re-uploading it into Scale AI is wasted effort. Notis listens for a webhook and imports the file straight from its URL, so remote data reaches your labeling pipeline hands-free.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Import File
Tool to import files from an external URL endpoint into Scale's system rather than uploading directly from local storage. Use when you need to import files from remote URLs for Scale AI projects or data labeling tasks.
Why this helps
Remote data stored at a URL requires a manual download-and-upload dance to reach Scale AI.
- Remote files import into Scale AI without downloading them first
- Your pipeline hands data to Scale AI directly by URL
- No manual re-upload step slowing the labeling cycle
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Scale AI to Notis once from the portal
- 2Ask Notis for your portal link and create a New Automation with an incoming webhook trigger
- 3Describe the outcome: when the webhook arrives with a file URL, import that file into Scale AI
- 4Pick the channel for Notis to report each import
- 5Send a test webhook with a real URL and confirm the file imports into Scale AI
Questions about this workflow
How is import different from upload?
Import pulls the file from an external URL into Scale AI, while upload sends a local file. Use import when the data already lives at a URL.
Does the URL need to be public?
It needs to be reachable by Scale AI's import endpoint. Describe any access details in your prompt so Notis handles it correctly.

Linear triggers
Scale ai actions
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
Add Studio Assignments
Tool to add project assignments to team members in Scale AI Studio. Use when you need to assign specific projects to team members by their email addresses. This action creates new assignments for the specified team members and projects.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Add Task Tags

Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Create Batch
Tool to create a new batch within a project. Use when you need to group multiple tasks together for organizational and processing purposes.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Create Document Transcription Task
Tool to create a document transcription task where workers transcribe and annotate information from single or multi-page documents. Use when you need to extract structured data from documents like invoices, forms, or screenshots.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Create Image Annotation Task
Tool to create an image annotation task where annotators label images with vector geometric shapes (box, polygon, line, point, cuboid, ellipse). Use when you need to annotate objects in images with bounding boxes, polygons, or other geometric annotations.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Create Lidar Annotation Task
Tool to create a lidar annotation task where annotators mark objects with 3D cuboids in 3D space. Use when you need to annotate LIDAR frame sequences with 3D object detection.
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Create LiDAR Segmentation Task
Tool to create a LiDAR segmentation task where annotators assign semantic class labels to individual LiDAR points. Use when you need to annotate point cloud data with object classes such as vehicles, pedestrians, roads, buildings, etc. Either 'project' or 'batch' must be provided in the request.
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Create Named Entity Recognition Task
Tool to create a named entity recognition task for labelers to highlight text entity mentions. Use when you need to extract and label entities such as people, organizations, or locations from text.
