Collect client files without chasing attachments
Turn a new intake into a Dropbox upload link, so clients can send the files you need in one place.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create file request
Create a file request so others can upload files to a folder.
Why this helps
Requests arrive in one place while attachments arrive across email and chat, leaving project files scattered and follow-ups easy to miss.
- Give clients a single upload destination.
- Reduce attachment chasing and manual filing.
- Start collection as soon as intake is received.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Dropbox once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Dropbox file request for each new client intake, using the intended folder and any deadline you specify.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real intake and check the generated request link.
Questions about this workflow
Does AnyDB provide the trigger for this workflow?
AnyDB has no listed trigger events, so this workflow starts with a Notis webhook. Send an HTTP request to start it when your intake is ready.
Can I set a deadline for uploads?
Yes. Include a deadline in the automation instruction when you want the file request to have one.
