Find the Dropbox copy while you are working in Affinda
Start with an Affinda document reference and have Notis look for its likely Dropbox match.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Search File or Folder
Find files and folders by name or content.
Why this helps
Switching between extraction and storage to locate a document interrupts the work and makes duplicate uploads more likely.
- Locate likely source copies without changing apps.
- Use names or identifiers already present in the request.
- Get a short report of matches to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for finding stored source documents.
- 3Tell Notis to search Dropbox using the document name or identifier included in the incoming request and report the most relevant matches.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and a run report destination.
- 5Test with one real Affinda document reference and review the search results.
Questions about this workflow
Will this workflow move or change files?
No. It uses Dropbox Search File or Folder to find candidates and report them.
What if the request does not include a usable name?
The search may return poor matches. Include a filename or another searchable identifier in the webhook request.
