What it does

Some filenames are too messy for fixed rules — abbreviations, typos, or free-text descriptions. This workflow sends the original name (and folder context) to an LLM that returns a structured canonical name, then renames the file and records the mapping in Airtable as a permanent rename log.

When to use it

Use it when uploads come from outside parties or non-standard tools and rigid pattern rules cannot reliably reshape them. The AI handles ambiguous cases; the Airtable log gives you a full old-to-new history if you ever need to trace or undo a change.

How it works

  1. 1A Dropbox webhook fires when a file is added.
  2. 2The LLM receives the filename plus folder context and returns a structured canonical name with a confidence score.
  3. 3A check gates on confidence — low-confidence results are flagged for review instead of renamed.
  4. 4Dropbox renames high-confidence files to the suggested name.
  5. 5Airtable logs the old name, new name, confidence, and timestamp for every processed file.
