Questions about this workflow
Does creating a link grant access to anyone?
Link visibility depends on the settings available for the action and your Dropbox configuration. State the intended sharing settings in your instruction.
What if the payload does not identify a report?
Have Notis skip link creation and report that a report path was not supplied.
