Why this helps
New files can sit unnoticed in an intake folder when you are focused on other work.
- Review intake folder contents from a report.
- Catch files that may need processing sooner.
- Reduce the need to check Dropbox manually.

- 2Create an automation for reviewing document intake.
- 3Tell Notis to list the chosen Dropbox intake folder and summarize files that appear relevant to your Affinda process.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis cron schedule and a run report destination.
- 5Test against one real folder and confirm the summary is actionable.
Questions about this workflow
Can it identify only files added since the last run?
The listed folder action provides folder contents, not a historical baseline. To identify new files, provide a baseline or compare reports outside this workflow.
Does the workflow start Affinda processing?
No. It lists Dropbox folder contents and reports them for your next step.
