Get the details behind a media file
A custom workflow can send a file lookup request to Notis and bring back the Dotsimple metadata needed for a decision.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Media File
Tool to retrieve details of a specific media file. use when you have the mediafileid and need its metadata.
Why this helps
When a file identifier is available but its context is not, switching tools to investigate can interrupt the task at hand.
- Use an existing backend event to request a specific file lookup.
- Retrieve media metadata without a manual workspace search.
- Keep the response focused on the requested file.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Dotsimple to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal with an incoming webhook trigger for your custom backend request.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to retrieve and summarize details for the specified Dotsimple media file.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and configure the webhook trigger in Notis.
- 5Test with one real request that identifies a valid media file.
Questions about this workflow
What does the request need to identify?
The Dotsimple action retrieves one specific media file, so the request must provide its media file identifier.
Does this return the actual media asset?
The action retrieves file details and metadata; it is not described as downloading or delivering the asset itself.
