Prepare a folder for each document batch
Send a webhook when a new batch is ready, then create its destination folder in Backendless.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Directory
Create a directory in file storage.
Why this helps
Creating storage folders by hand for each new batch interrupts focused work and can leave files scattered.
- Creates a destination directory based on a path supplied in the webhook.
- Helps keep generated files grouped by project or batch.
- Avoids repeated manual folder setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Prepare document batch folder.
- 3Tell Notis to create the Backendless directory at the path provided by the webhook.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and have the external sender call it when a document batch is ready.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real batch path.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer the folder name from ActiveMerge?
The webhook must provide the desired Backendless path. The listed ActiveMerge context does not provide a trigger or folder naming event.
What happens if the directory already exists?
The action creates a directory at the specified path. Confirm the expected behavior for an existing directory in a one-example test.
