Description
Hello,
When I was trying to setup a new notification for a new file uploaded using the file name match I found that in most cases entering a valid regex did not work, i.e. every time an error was returned. Currently it is unclear what can be entered in the file name field.
E.g.:
- there is an example: "/^dummy-.+$/i" which works
- none of these work: "/my/folder/.+", "/my/folder/.+"
Please add some documentation or help with examples.

Start by locating the notification documentation for the file name field and compare its current guidance with the regex examples in the issue. Document which regex forms are accepted, including the working example and the two failing path patterns, so users can tell what to enter.
