Enable Secure Customer File Uploads with Automatic Signed URLs
Customer needs to upload a video or image for a project. You send them a Dropbox link or ask for email attachment. Feels clunky. Instead, Notis generates a secure Shotstack upload URL and sends it. Customer drags files in browser, upload completes, file appears in your project. Feels professional and secure.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Upload URL
Tool to request a signed URL for direct file upload to Shotstack. Use when you need to upload a file to Shotstack storage. The response returns a signed URL that you use to upload the file using a PUT request with the binary file.
Why this helps
Asking customers to upload files feels clunky. You end up using Dropbox, email attachments, or generic file hosts. Customers feel your process is amateur. Files get lost in email. Security feels questionable.
- Signed URLs feel professional and secure - customers trust your process
- Eliminates email attachments and Dropbox links - centralized file management
- Upload links expire for security - no perpetual access to old URLs
- Enables friction-free customer collaboration on media projects
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Productlane and Shotstack to Notis
- 2Create an automation: 'When a customer needs to upload media in Productlane, request a secure signed upload URL from Shotstack and send it to the customer with instructions'
- 3Select webhook trigger to catch upload requests
- 4Choose your notification channel to confirm URL was generated
- 5Test by creating an upload request in Productlane to verify the secure URL is generated and sent
Questions about this workflow
How long are the signed URLs valid?
By default, 1 hour. If a customer needs more time, they can request a new URL. This balance security with practicality.
Can I customize the upload URL expiration?
Yes. Tell Notis '24-hour expiration' or any timeframe that matches your security requirements.
What happens after they upload?
The file appears in Shotstack storage and is ready for your team to use in renders or projects. You can access it immediately.
