Give each Affinda document case its own Dropbox folder
When a new document case begins, create its Dropbox home from the reference already in your request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create folder
Create a folder to organize files.
Why this helps
Without a predictable folder, documents for a new case can end up mixed with unrelated files.
- Give each case a dedicated storage location.
- Keep incoming documents easier to find.
- Avoid manually creating the same folder structure.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for starting a document case.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Dropbox folder using the case or project reference included in the incoming request.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real case reference and confirm the folder path.
Questions about this workflow
Does Affinda send a new-case trigger?
No Affinda trigger events are listed. A Notis webhook must start this workflow when your process opens a case.
What if the case reference is missing?
Notis needs a usable reference to create a meaningful folder name. Include one in the webhook request.
