- Make documents easier to classify and review.
- Use a webhook to initiate the update.

Questions about this workflow
Does this create the Dropbox property template?
No. This action adds properties using a filled property template. The template must already be available in Dropbox.
Can Notis infer a document's status?
Notis can analyze information returned to it, but any status or history not provided by the apps must be included in the request or prompt.
