Find the right generated document without browsing folders
Ask Notis to search Dropbox for a workflow document when an HTTP request arrives.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search File or Folder
Find files and folders by name or content.
Why this helps
Searching through folders interrupts the work you were doing and makes it easy to open the wrong version.
- Search by a supplied filename or content clue.
- Avoid manual folder-by-folder browsing.
- Start a targeted lookup with an HTTP request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction what document to search for and how to use the results.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real document query and review the returned matches.
Questions about this workflow
Does the search know which document ActiveMerge just created?
Only when the request or other provided information identifies it. ActiveMerge trigger events are not listed.
Can I limit the search to a folder?
The Dropbox search action supports searching within a specific path when that path is known and included in your instruction.
