  • 2Create a new automation and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to list the relevant Dropbox path and summarize assets that need review when a playlist is created or deleted.
  • 4Pick New Playlist Created or Deleted as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, test with one lifecycle event, and review the listed entries.

Questions about this workflow

Does it automatically delete orphaned files?

No. It lists entries so you can decide what should happen.

Can creation and deletion use different guidance?
