Make a document's review status visible in Dropbox
When your process provides a clear status, add a matching tag to the file your team will revisit.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add tag to file or folder
Tags a file or folder; the tag is converted to lowercase.
Why this helps
Review status can be easy to lose when it lives in a message instead of alongside the stored document.
- Show a supplied review status on the file itself.
- Make follow-up candidates easier to scan.
- Avoid relying on a separate note for every document.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for updating document review tags.
- 3Tell Notis to add the supplied review-status tag to the matching Dropbox file when a clear status and file path are present.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select a run report destination.
- 5Test with one real document and verify the resulting tag.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis decide whether a document is approved?
No. The workflow should use a review status supplied in the request or by you, not infer an approval decision without evidence.
Are Dropbox tags case sensitive?
Dropbox converts tags to lowercase automatically.
