Using Control Center to Track Folder Updates?

Hello,

I am unsure of the feasibility of this goal but am hoping someone could provide some insight.

Within my organization we have the following structure Workspace → Workspace → Folder. Within this folder we have additional folders that are added through an API integration we have setup.

I am hoping we would be able to create some sort of notification to know when a new folder is added by the API. Even better would be if we could reference that data contained on a sheet that is within the added folder. Whether it is helpful or not to know the Sheet name is the same within every folder that is added.

Hi @ScreamsAtBirds,

Since you have an API integration setup already that adds folders, why not create a sheet (a new sheet titled, for example “New Folders”) within the overall workspace and have that same integration add a row with the Folder URL to that sheet? You could then create an automated workflow in that sheet that sends out notifications when new rows are added to the sheet.

Another option would be to create a time-based workflow in the template of the sheet that gets created by the API integration. You could set the workflow up with criteria related to the information you want to see, and have it send daily.

Alternatively, you could create a row report that selects the Workspace as a whole as the source (so that any newly created sheets will be included in the report), and filter the report by sheet name. You could then send the report at regular intervals e.g. once a week or once a day - that way you can see if any new sheets have been created with that name.

Hope that helps!
