Find files tied to an Affinity contact or deal
Ask Notis to scan a Backendless directory listing for the files relevant to your supplied contact or deal context.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Directory Listing
List files and directories in storage.
Why this helps
Supporting files can be hard to locate when deal and contact context is maintained separately from file storage.
- Narrow a directory listing around the request context.
- Surface useful supporting files without repeated browsing.
- Keep file discovery connected to the deal question.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for contact file lookup.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect a specified Backendless directory listing and identify files relevant to the Affinity context included in each request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real contact or deal request and verify the listed files.
