Keep Ably decisions with the Box file
Capture a decision where the related document lives. Notis adds the supplied context as a Box comment.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create comment
Adds a comment by the user to a specific file, or as a reply to an other comment.
Why this helps
Decisions made in chat can become hard to find when someone returns to the document later.
- Keep supplied decision context alongside the relevant file.
- Make follow-up easier for people reviewing the document.
- Avoid manually switching from an Ably channel to Box to record an update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Box once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a clear name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to add the request's decision text as a comment on the specified Box file.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real decision and file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically read Ably channel history?
No. Ably has no trigger events listed here. Send the decision and Box file reference in the webhook request.
Can it reply to an existing Box comment?
This workflow uses the Create comment action. Specify the file and comment content in the request; it does not require an existing comment.
What information should the webhook include?
Include the decision text and enough information to identify the target Box file.
