Notis

Duplicate the right Backendless file when requested

When a request arrives, have Notis verify the supplied file paths and copy the Backendless file or directory to its new location.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Copy File

Copy a file or directory in file storage.

Why this helps

Manual file duplication adds a small but interruptive task to otherwise straightforward requests.

  • Handle repeatable copy requests from a webhook.
  • Check the source and destination paths before copying.
  • Keep the copied file in the location the request specifies.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AnyDB and Backendless once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation that copies a file only when the request provides verified source and destination paths.
  • 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and configure the request sender to call it.
  • 4Choose where Notis run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file and verify the copied item at its destination.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis choose the file path on its own?

The source and destination paths must be provided or clearly determined from available context. The workflow should ask for missing paths.

Does it move or delete the original?

No. The selected action copies the file or directory; it does not remove the source.
