On Folder Change

  1. A direct item in ~/Documents/Research Inbox is Added.

Check Conditions

AND
  1. The changed item name from Folder Contents Changed ends with .txt

Normalize and Archive

  1. Read text from Item Path, up to 1 MB
  2. Transform File Contents using normalize line endings
  3. Write Text Result to Item Path by overwriting all file contents
  4. Move Item Path to ~/Documents/Notes Archive, and Use a Numbered Name if the name already exists

How this Rule works

For a newly added name ending in .txt, the Rule reads the file, normalizes line endings, overwrites its contents and moves it to the selected archive. Choose separate inbox and archive folders.

Configure and try it

Import the Rule, review its Trigger and Actions, and adjust the settings described above before enabling it. Test the result in a safe, temporary context.

Requirements and limits

Folder monitoring, text processing, writing and moving require Pro and folder access. This overwrites and moves the original; test on disposable copies and keep backups.
