How get notified if automation was successful/failed?

I have an Automated Folder that converts the uploaded file to PDF and saves it. I am using Dropbox API for it. Is there a way for me to programmatically check whether/when the PDF file generated by the automation is available?

How should one go about it?

    While not specific to results of automations, the Dropbox API does offer a few ways to detect when changes occur, such as when new files are added. For information, please refer to the Detecting Changes Guide.
