Start each project with its Dropbox folder ready
Have Notis create a consistently named Dropbox folder on your schedule so project setup does not begin with repetitive clicks.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create folder
Tool to create a new folder at a specified path in dropbox. use when you need to organize files by creating a new directory. requires the 'files.content.write' scope.
Why this helps
Recurring work starts with the same folder setup, and it is easy to forget before the WhatsApp conversation gets busy.
- Create a predictable Dropbox folder ahead of recurring work.
- Reduce repetitive setup across client or project cycles.
- Keep the folder naming and location described in a single instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the recurring work.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction when to create the Dropbox folder and how to name and locate it.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test the instruction with one real example before relying on the schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run because a WhatsApp message arrived?
No. This workflow uses a recurring Notis schedule. 2chat has no trigger events listed in this package.
What information must I provide for folder naming?
Include the folder name pattern and Dropbox path in your instruction. Notis cannot infer a naming convention that you have not supplied.
Can this create folders only when a chat mentions a new project?
Not with the listed events. This package uses a schedule, not a 2chat message trigger.
