See how much review material is accumulating without opening directories one by one.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get File Count
Count files in a directory.
Why this helps
It is easy to lose track of an expanding file backlog when nobody checks the directory regularly.
- Count files in a specified directory at a recurring interval.
- Include subdirectories when appropriate.
- Share the count in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addresszen and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which Backendless directory to count and whether subdirectories should be included.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the reported count.
Questions about this workflow
Does this identify which address each file belongs to?
No. The action returns a file count for a directory. It does not inspect file contents.
Can I include nested folders?
Yes. State whether the count should include subdirectories in your instruction.
