Why this helps
When several device projects share one folder, important readings are easy to lose.
- Keep project materials grouped together.
- Avoid manually creating folders for new projects.
- Use project names supplied in each payload.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Dropbox folder when an incoming payload names a project that needs one.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Send one real example payload with a project name to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Does the payload need to include a project name?
Yes. Notis can only organize by a project name included in the incoming payload or otherwise supplied in your instruction.
Will a folder be created for every reading?
Tell Notis to create a folder only when the named project folder is needed, so readings can be handled without creating repeated folders.
