Why this helps
Project information can be separated from the documents people need to act on.
- Keep supplied project context with a file.
- Make documents more consistent for later review.
- Reduce repeated lookup of basic job details.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuLynx and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation under Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to add the supplied project details to the identified Dropbox file using the available property template, and report if the template is unavailable.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and provide the HTTP request.
- 5Choose where run reports go and test with one real file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a property template?
No. This action adds properties using a filled template. A team template must already be available.
What if a project detail is missing?
Have Notis omit the missing value and report it rather than filling it in.
