Action

Why this helps
Files from multiple sensors can blend together when their names and tags are inconsistent.
- Make sensor-related files easier to locate.
- Apply a repeatable tag based on supplied identifiers.
- Reduce manual file labeling.
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 tag the relevant Dropbox file using the sensor identifier in each payload.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Send one real payload linked to a Dropbox file to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a file?
No. This workflow tags a relevant Dropbox file. The file must already exist or its path must be provided in the incoming payload.
What if the sensor identifier is missing?
Tell Notis to skip tagging and report that the identifier was missing.
