Why this helps
Checking a folder can mean leaving the current task just to answer a small question about what is inside.
- Inspect folder contents from the conversation.
- Quickly confirm whether expected files are present.
- Reduce small navigation detours during work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Dropbox to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to list the Dropbox folder path you name and report its files and folders.
- 4Choose the Telegram New Message Received trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Request a known folder and confirm the returned listing.
Questions about this workflow
Can the listing include subfolders?
Tell Notis whether you want a recursive listing in the instruction.
Do I need to provide a path?
A path is the clearest way to identify the folder you want Notis to inspect.
