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 take unnecessary effort to open project folders just to understand whether the working file set has changed.
- See the file count without browsing the folder manually.
- Include subdirectories when that is part of the review criteria.
- Keep recurring reviews grounded in a specified directory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agiled and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the file count review.
- 3Tell Notis which Backendless directory to count and whether the count should include subdirectories; provide the path.
- 4Choose the notis_cron schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project directory and confirm the count matches your intended scope.
