Give every document project a clear Dropbox home
Start a document workflow with a webhook and have Notis prepare a Dropbox folder for its files.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create folder
Create a folder to organize files.
Why this helps
Without a clear folder ready, generated documents can end up mixed with unrelated files.
- Prepare a destination for related documents.
- Reduce time spent organizing files by hand.
- Use a webhook to kick off a folder setup.
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 how to name the Dropbox folder for each document project.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project request and verify the folder in Dropbox.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a folder based on an ActiveMerge event?
ActiveMerge has no trigger events listed. A Notis webhook starts the workflow, and your instruction describes the folder to create.
Can I use this to upload a document too?
This workflow creates a folder. Uploading a document would require a separate workflow using Dropbox's Upload File action.
