Keep an eye on files in a research folder
Get a recurring view of how many files are in a Backendless directory while your Agenty browser work continues.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get File Count
Count files in a directory.
Why this helps
It can be hard to tell whether a working folder is growing when you only inspect it occasionally.
- Check a directory's current file count on a recurring schedule.
- Keep the count beside the Agenty task report.
- Notice growth that may warrant a cleanup or review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe the Agenty browser workflow and ask Notis to retrieve and report the file count for a specified Backendless directory.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real directory and confirm the reported count.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action list the files?
No. Get File Count returns a count. Use it for a quantity check, not a file-by-file inventory.
Can the count show how much the folder grew since last time?
Only if the previous count is available as a comparison baseline. Otherwise, the workflow can report the current count.
