Create Box metadata cascade policies
Keep new files aligned with the metadata rules of their parent workspace.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create metadata cascade policy
Creates a new metadata cascade policy that applies a given metadata template to a given folder and automatically cascades it down to any files within that folder. in order for the policy to be applied a metadata instance must first be applied to the folder the policy is to be applied to.
Why this helps
Folder standards drift because new files do not inherit the expected metadata behavior.
- Improves metadata consistency
- Reduces repeated tagging
- Keeps folder rules scalable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 0CodeKit and Box in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Cascade folder metadata.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify folders that need a metadata cascade policy.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one governed folder.
Questions about this workflow
What must exist before cascading?
The relevant metadata template and folder metadata instance must be available in Box.
Can Notis decide which folders qualify?

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add classification to folder
Adds a classification to a folder by specifying the label of the classification to add. this api can also be called by including the enterprise id in the url explicitly, for example `/folders/:id/enterprise 12345/securityclassification-6vmvochwuwo`.
Add domain to list of allowed collaboration domains
Creates a new entry in the list of allowed domains to allow collaboration for.
Add initial classifications
When an enterprise does not yet have any classifications, this api call initializes the classification template with an initial set of classifications. if an enterprise already has a classification, the template will already exist and instead an api call should be made to add additional classifications.
