Instant Upload Alerts for Key Folders
Get notified the moment files land in critical Dropbox folders
Nora watches specific Dropbox folders (e.g., Client Deliverables, Finance) and alerts you instantly when new files arrive. Includes file size, uploader, and direct links.
Some Dropbox folders are critical: client deliverables, invoices, contracts, or compliance documents. Nora monitors these folders and sends you an instant SMS or Slack alert the moment a new file appears. The alert includes the file name, size, uploader (if available), and a direct link to open it. You can configure folder lists, alert channels (email, SMS, Slack), and quiet hours (e.g., mute alerts after 6 PM). Perfect for finance teams waiting on vendor invoices, creative agencies tracking client uploads, or support teams receiving bug reports. Reduces response time from hours to seconds.
