Action

Why this helps
Document collection often involves switching between contact checks, folder setup, and follow-up messages.
- Prepare a Dropbox upload link as part of intake.
- Catch email validation results before following up.
- Reduce repeated setup for document collection.
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 validate the submitted contact email with Abstract and, when the request asks for document collection, create a Dropbox file request for the specified folder with any supplied deadline.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes a contact email and destination folder.
