What it does

On a daily schedule this workflow walks a Dropbox folder, evaluates each filename against the convention, and records a pass/fail row in Airtable with the violation reasons. It is read-only — nothing gets renamed — so it is safe to run on folders where automated renames would be risky.

When to use it

Use it when you need visibility into how badly filenames are drifting before you commit to auto-correction, or when compliance has to be auditable for a client or process review. The Airtable register becomes a running scorecard you can chart and share.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule triggers the audit run.
  2. 2Dropbox lists every file in the target folder tree.
  3. 3Each filename is scored against the convention, producing a compliant flag plus a list of specific violations.
  4. 4A check filters to only files whose status changed since the last run, avoiding duplicate noise.
  5. 5Airtable upserts one row per file with path, compliant status, violations, and audit date.
