Track the size of a Backendless storage folder
A recurring count helps you notice changes in the folder your Airtop process uses without checking it by hand.
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
Repeated browser work can accumulate files, leaving storage growth or missing outputs unnoticed.
- Count files in a specified Backendless directory.
- Include nested folders when needed.
- Create a repeatable checkpoint for storage review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtop and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, specify the directory, whether to include subdirectories, and how to summarize the count.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real directory.
Questions about this workflow
Can this find newly added files?
The action returns a count, not a list or change history. It can provide a recurring count for comparison, but historical baselines must come from your reports or be supplied.
Does the workflow remove old files?
No. It only counts files and does not change Backendless storage.
