Questions about this workflow
Can a folder name alone identify a new account?
Sometimes, but ask Notis to check available Dynamics account information and report ambiguous or possibly duplicate organizations for review.
Will this trigger run for new files too?
Yes, New Item Added to Folder can detect files, folders, or web links. Your instruction should ask Notis to continue only when the new item is a folder.
