  • This will bring up the Folder Actions Setup in front of the user
  • Go over to the plus “+” sign to add the folder(s) that you want to bring the action upon
  • Once the “+” sign is clicked, it will initiate another screen that will display up
  • Go at the folder you want to monitor and access the “Open” button for it
  • This will bring up a screen of available AppleScripts
  • Go to “add – new item alert.scrpt” available in the list of available scripts
