Watch evidence folders for missing files

A recurring file count can reveal when a verified company record lacks expected supporting documents.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get File Count

Tool to get the count of files in a backendless directory. use when you need to determine how many items match a filter or include subdirectories.

Why this helps

Missing evidence often appears late because nobody checks whether the expected files arrived.

  • Highlights incomplete evidence folders
  • Provides a simple completeness signal
  • Cuts manual directory checks

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 44API and Backendless in Notis once.
  • 2Create a scheduled automation for evidence completeness.
  • 3Tell Notis to review the supplied 44API validation context and get the file count for the related Backendless directory.
  • 4Pick a Notis cron trigger and set the cadence.
  • 5Choose reports and test with one directory and expected count.
