How to make incron see new folders?

Question

linux

Hello. I want to track the change of files (write) in a folder. I made this setting

/root/var/       IN_CLOSE_WRITE             curl "https://api.telegram.org/......."

And if you upload a file to the var folder, then curl will work, but if you create a new folder at the beginning and upload the file there, then nothing will happen. How can this be fixed?

incron, more precisely, inotify()it does not know how to recursively bypass directories. So you have to write the full path to the directory/root/var/yourfolder/
