DocRaptor Automation, Approvals & Workflow
Run DocRaptor on autopilot. Keep the veto.
10 actions
PDF documents ship to customers before you've verified the data that went into them. Rills proposes the action, you approve from your phone.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential productivity action from DocRaptor arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.

Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About DocRaptor automation
PDFs go out to customers, clients, or regulators the moment an event fires. But the data feeding that PDF might be stale, wrong, or missing a critical field. One mistimed document can trigger a refund, a compliance flag, or a support ticket you'd rather not wake up to.
When DocRaptor runs unsupervised
- Create Document fires with incomplete invoice data, shipping a PDF that undercharges a customer.
- Get Async Document Status polls indefinitely on a document that will never complete, burning API calls.
- List Documents (XML or JSON) returns a batch that includes confidential drafts you didn't mean to expose.
- Create Document from Referrer generates a PDF from a referral URL that has expired, breaking the user experience.
- Create Hosted Async Document stores a publicly accessible PDF without your knowledge.
What Rills does inside DocRaptor
Rills watches for document creation requests and status checks. Before a PDF is dispatched to your customer or logged to your records, the proposed action arrives on your phone. You review the parameters, the data feed, and the destination. Then you approve the document before it ships.
The document still ships; you just see it first.
Why DocRaptor has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
DocRaptor doesn't push events when documents complete or fail. Rills bridges that gap with scheduled polls and upstream triggers from other tools, giving you a single approval queue for your DocRaptor automation.
- Poll Get Async Document Status every 5 minutes for documents you've queued, pausing until you approve the result.
- Chain a Create Document action after a subscription invoice is finalized in your billing tool (Stripe, Paddle) and pause for approval before the PDF is generated.
- Schedule recurring List Documents (JSON) scans to catch expired hosted docs and notify you before they become stale.
- Use incoming webhooks from your app to trigger a Create Document from Referrer and pause for approval before the PDF is stored. This is how you bring real-time control into a polling-only integration, making your Productivity workflows safer.

Common questions about DocRaptor automation
How do I automate PDF generation with DocRaptor?
You set up a Rills workflow that calls DocRaptor's create Document when a trigger happens — say a new invoice is paid. Rills shows you the proposed document details on your phone first. You approve before the PDF is generated. Approvals and workflow logic are free; you only pay for the DocRaptor API call.
Can I approve DocRaptor document creation from my phone?
Yes. When Rills proposes a DocRaptor action — like creating a contract PDF — you get a notification on your phone. You review the parameters and swipe to approve or reject. Nothing ships without your OK. The approval itself costs nothing; you only pay for the actual DocRaptor API call if approved.
How do I schedule DocRaptor reports to generate automatically?
Rills can run workflows on a cron schedule you set. For example, every Monday at 9am, Rills proposes generating a weekly sales report PDF via DocRaptor. You get the proposed action on your phone to approve before it runs. Confidence scoring can auto-approve routine ones over time, but you always keep the veto.
Can I review DocRaptor API calls before they run?
Yes. Every time Rills is about to call DocRaptor (create document, check status, etc.), it sends the proposed API parameters to your mobile approval queue. You see exactly what the AI decided to send — data, headers, payload — and you approve or cancel. No silent actions.
How is Rills different from Zapier for DocRaptor?
Zapier runs unattended — if the trigger fires, the action executes immediately with no review. Rills inserts a human approval step. You see what the AI proposes before any DocRaptor document is created. Approvals and logic are free; you only pay when you approve the action. Rills learns from your decisions, so routine ones can become autonomous.
Does Rills support DocRaptor webhooks?
DocRaptor doesn't push events (no webhooks), but Rills doesn't need them. You trigger workflows on schedules, webhooks from other tools, or manually. When a trigger fires, Rills proposes the DocRaptor action for you to approve from your phone before it runs.
Can Rills create DocRaptor documents on a schedule?
Yes. You set a cron schedule in Rills — say hourly or daily. When the schedule fires, Rills prepares a DocRaptor create Document action and sends it to your phone for approval. Only after you approve does the PDF actually generate. The scheduling logic is free; you pay per approved API call.
How much does Rills cost for DocRaptor automation?
Approvals and workflow logic are always free with Rills. You only pay for the actual actions taken — in DocRaptor's case, that's the API calls (create document, list documents, etc.) and any external compute. No monthly fee for approval queues or conditional logic. You decide per action whether it's worth running.
