Notis

Review your generated-file folder on a schedule

Get a recurring view of the files waiting in a Backendless directory, without reopening storage to browse manually.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Directory Listing

List files and directories in storage.

Why this helps

Files can accumulate in a shared folder while founders switch between projects and lose track of what is waiting.

  • Retrieves a listing from a specified Backendless path on a recurring schedule.
  • Helps surface files that may need review or follow-up.
  • Keeps the review cadence consistent.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Generated files review.
  • 3Tell Notis to list the specified Backendless directory and summarize the returned contents for you.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real directory.

Questions about this workflow

Does this confirm that a document is signed or complete?

No. It lists directory contents. The files or their metadata must provide any status information you want Notis to summarize.

Can I use this without an ActiveMerge event?

Yes. ActiveMerge has no listed triggers, so this workflow uses a Notis schedule and reads the Backendless directory.
