Ways Notis can move work from Dropbox to Yelp
Build a shortlist of local workspace services
On a schedule, review your Dropbox workspace notes and find Yelp-listed coworking spaces or shared offices that match your location and stated needs.
Surface dining options for planned work trips
Use travel plans in Dropbox to ask Yelp for suitable dining suggestions near the destination, then receive a concise report before the trip.
Research local vendors from a submitted brief
When a custom intake sends a vendor research request to Notis, use its Dropbox brief to search Yelp for relevant local businesses and report candidates.
Refresh details for saved service providers
On a schedule, find provider names and Yelp identifiers in Dropbox and retrieve their latest Yelp business details for a compact review.
Check recent reviews for preferred vendors
Review a Dropbox list of preferred vendors on a schedule and fetch Yelp review excerpts to help spot recent customer feedback.
Find local events for a submitted location brief
When a location brief reaches a Notis webhook, read its Dropbox context and use Yelp to suggest relevant events in the area.
Get the featured Yelp event near your base
On a recurring schedule, read your saved home or office location from Dropbox and retrieve Yelp's featured event for that area.
Scan candidate areas for nearby business services
When a relocation brief arrives, use its Dropbox details to search Yelp for useful businesses around candidate office areas.
Prepare nearby essentials for upcoming trips
Review upcoming travel notes in Dropbox and search Yelp for practical essentials such as pharmacies, print shops, or coffee near the destination.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Dropbox to Yelp. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Dropbox triggers
Yelp actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Autocomplete Search
Get autocomplete suggestions for businesses, categories, and search terms on Yelp based on partial text input. Returns matching businesses with their Yelp IDs, relevant category suggestions, and additional search term recommendations. Use this action when users are typing search queries and need real-time suggestions to refine their search before executing a full business search. Location coordinates (latitude/longitude) are optional but can improve suggestion relevance for geographic searches.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Business Details
Get detailed information about a specific business on Yelp using its business ID or alias. Returns comprehensive business information including hours (in the business's local timezone), photos, reviews, and location details. The returned `url` field is the Yelp listing page, not the business's own website. Response fields such as `phone` and `website` may be null; handle missing values explicitly. Avoid many parallel calls — HTTP 429 throttling applies; limit concurrency to ~5 parallel requests with exponential backoff.
Get Business Reviews
Get reviews for a specific business on Yelp using its business ID or alias. Returns up to 3 review excerpts for the business.
Get Category Details
Get detailed information about a specific Yelp category by its alias. Returns category metadata including the human-readable title, parent categories, and country availability lists. Use this action when you need to understand category hierarchies, check category availability by country, or get the proper display name for a category alias. The alias parameter must be a valid Yelp category identifier — use the list categories endpoint to discover available aliases.
Get Event Details
Get detailed information about a specific Yelp event using its event ID. Returns comprehensive event information including dates, location, cost, attendance counts, and associated business details. Use this action when you need to retrieve full details about a specific event that you already have the ID for. Event IDs can be obtained from the search events or featured events endpoints.
Get Featured Event
Get the featured event for a given location on Yelp. Featured events are chosen by Yelp's community managers and represent notable happenings in the specified area. Use this action when you need to discover the highlighted or recommended event for a specific city, region, or coordinates. The returned `event_site_url` is the Yelp event page, not the event's own external website. Response fields such as `business_id`, `cost`, and `tickets_url` may be null; handle missing values explicitly.
Get Review Highlights
Get review highlights for a specific business on Yelp using its business ID or alias. Returns summarized key points and themes from customer reviews. IMPORTANT: This endpoint requires Yelp Places API Premium Plan access. Without Premium Plan, requests will return a 403 NOT_AUTHORIZED error. For basic review access, consider using the Get Business Reviews action instead, which is available on Enhanced and Premium plans. Note: Get Business Reviews returns at most 3 recent reviews per call, while this action synthesizes themes across the full review history.
List Categories
List all Yelp business categories across all locales by default. Returns category aliases, titles, parent relationships, and geographic availability. Use this action when you need to discover valid category aliases for filtering business searches or when building category-based navigation. The locale parameter allows filtering to categories available in specific regions while translating category names to the local language.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.

NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
