Automate with Dropbox

Dropbox is your cloud file storage hub. NVS automates the workflows triggered by file events — organizing uploads, notifying teams, and syncing documents to the right places automatically.

Use Cases

01

File Uploaded — Auto-Organize and Notify

When a file is uploaded to a Dropbox intake folder, it is automatically moved to the correct project subfolder based on filename patterns, and the team is notified in Slack.

Trigger
File Uploaded
dropbox.trigger
Fires when any file is added to the monitored Dropbox folder.
Parse Filename for Project
nvs.set
Project code or client name extracted from the filename.
IF
Project Match Found?
nvs.condition
Checks whether the filename matches a known project folder pattern.
NO
Output
Move to Inbox
dropbox.move
File moved to the Unclassified inbox for manual sorting. Team notified.
YES
Move to Project Folder
dropbox.move

02

Client Deliverable Approval Workflow

When a deliverable file is uploaded to a client review folder in Dropbox, the client receives an email with a review link and an approve/reject form.
