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
Checking whether job folders have grown or changed takes repeated manual browsing.
- Count files in a specified directory
- Include subdirectories when the instruction calls for it
- Review the result in a scheduled run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuLynx and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which Backendless directory to count and whether to include subdirectories.
- 4Choose a Notis cron schedule and a run report destination.
- 5Test against a directory with a known file count.
Questions about this workflow
Can the count identify which documents are missing?
A count alone cannot identify missing documents. That requires a known expected list or baseline supplied to the workflow.
Can it count nested folders?
Yes, request that subdirectories be included when the directory count is run.
