Get a regular inventory of your Affinda document folder
A scheduled Dropbox folder review gives you a quick view of the documents collected for Affinda processing.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List folder contents
Why this helps
A folder can accumulate documents faster than you remember to check what arrived or what still needs attention.
- See recent folder contents without opening Dropbox.
- Make a lightweight recurring review part of your routine.
- Spot unexpected or missing items sooner.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for reviewing the document intake folder.
- 3Tell Notis to list the chosen Dropbox folder and summarize the files relevant to your Affinda workflow.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis cron schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real folder and verify the inventory is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule detect which documents Affinda has processed?
No. Dropbox folder listing provides the folder contents. The workflow can summarize details available from those files, but it has no Affinda processing history unless you provide it.
Can it include subfolders?
You can ask Notis to list the folder recursively if that is useful for your Dropbox layout.
