Notis

Find the right Dropbox files when a request comes in

Send Notis a request and get a focused search of Dropbox files that may help you answer it.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Search File or Folder

Find files and folders by name or content.

Why this helps

Searching Dropbox manually can interrupt work and make useful files easy to miss.

  • Find relevant files without switching into Dropbox to search.
  • Search by the request's names, terms, or context.
  • Keep a useful search trail tied to the request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agenty and Dropbox once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in Notis and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to search Dropbox for files relevant to each incoming request and summarize the best matches.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real request that names a project or document.
