Create a Box folder from an Ably request
Start work with one request. Notis creates the Box folder so files have a home from the outset.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create folder
Creates a new empty folder within the specified parent folder.
Why this helps
New work often starts across chat and tools, leaving someone to create a folder before the team can organize files.
- Give each new work item a dedicated place for files.
- Reduce setup steps between receiving a request and starting work.
- Use a consistent folder naming instruction in your prompt.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Box once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis when to create a Box folder and how to name it using request details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Ably request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide a native Notis trigger for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook, which is an HTTP request to the automation.
Can the folder name use details in the request?
Yes. Describe the naming rule in your prompt and include the required details in the webhook request.
Does this create folders inside a particular parent folder?
Specify the desired parent folder in your instruction and confirm it is available to the connected Box account.
