Parse Incoming Documents with a Notis Webhook

Any system that can call a webhook can start structured document extraction.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create Document

Tool to upload a new document for parsing. use when you have the document file or a public url and need to extract structured data immediately.

Why this helps

External intake channels create files that still require a manual upload step.

  • Connect external intake to parsing
  • Remove manual upload steps
  • Start extraction immediately

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinda in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation that uploads the document or public URL received by the webhook for parsing.
  • 3Choose a Notis webhook trigger.
  • 4Select a report channel and test with one real intake request.

Questions about this workflow
