Make workflow files easier to find with Dropbox tags
Use a webhook to ask Notis to tag a Dropbox file associated with your ActiveMerge process.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add tag to file or folder
Tags a file or folder; the tag is converted to lowercase.
Why this helps
Generated documents can be hard to retrieve when filenames alone do not tell you which workflow they belong to.
- Add a lightweight organizing label to a file.
- Make workflow-related documents easier to search by tag.
- Start tagging from 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 which Dropbox file to tag and what label to apply.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file and check its tag in Dropbox.
