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
A folder can accumulate work without making the size of the review queue obvious.
- Know the current number of files in a chosen folder.
- Keep queue checks brief and consistent.
- Use the count to prompt a manual review when needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airparser and Backendless once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from the portal or any Notis channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to count files in the specified Backendless directory and report the count, noting whether subdirectories are included.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test against one real directory and verify the count settings.
Questions about this workflow
Does the count show how many files are unprocessed?
Not by itself. The action counts files in a directory; it does not identify processing status unless that information is available separately.
Can it include subdirectories?
The count action supports an include-subdirectories option. State whether to include them in your instruction.
