Keep an eye on creative folder size with a scheduled count
Get a quick count of files in a chosen Backendless folder as part of a recurring creative operations check.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get File Count
Count files in a directory.
Why this helps
Manually checking file volume takes attention away from the creative decisions that need it.
- Get a recurring count for a specified directory.
- Include subdirectories when that is appropriate for the inventory.
- Review the result alongside the creative context provided to Notis.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abyssale and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis which creative context and Backendless directory to check, including whether subdirectories count.
- 3Pick the recurring schedule trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real directory and compare the count with its current contents.
Questions about this workflow
Does the count identify duplicate files?
No. It reports a file count and does not determine whether files are duplicates.
Can subdirectories be included?
Yes. Specify whether the count should include subdirectories.
Can I use the result to track change over time?
The action returns a count for the run. A historical baseline must be supplied or stored separately if you want Notis to compare changes.
