Pair a scheduled IP lookup with a file move
At the schedule you choose, Notis can enrich an IP address supplied in the automation instructions and move a specified Dropbox file to its destination.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Move file or folder
Move a file or folder to another location.
Why this helps
A recurring review can stall when its supporting file still needs to be manually moved into the right Dropbox location.
- Combine a recurring lookup with a concrete file organization step.
- Reduce manual file moves for routine review.
- Keep the lookup timing consistent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to enrich the IP address you provide with Abstract and move the specified Dropbox file from its current path to the destination path.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real IP address and a Dropbox file path.
