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

Why this helps
Approved documents sit in chat or a handoff queue while someone remembers to upload and file them.
- Move approved files into the Dropbox location you specify.
- Reduce the gap between approval and filing.
- Use the webhook payload or instruction to provide the file and destination.

- 3Tell Notis in one instruction to upload the supplied approved file to the Dropbox path you provide.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved file and confirm the destination.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect approvals inside 2chat by itself?
No 2chat trigger events are listed. A system must start this workflow by sending an HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
Can Notis choose a Dropbox path without being told?
Provide the destination path or a clear rule for deriving it in your instruction or webhook input.
What happens if a file with the same name exists?
The upload action has options for handling existing files. State your preferred behavior in the instruction.
