Why this helps
People can lose time asking for the latest link to a recurring document or reference file.
- Make an important Box file available in the channel on a predictable cadence.
- Reduce repeated requests for a document link.
- Set sharing expectations in the prompt.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it with a prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which Box file to share and which Ably channel should receive the link.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file and confirm the link reaches the intended channel.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
A Notis recurring schedule starts it. Ably has no native trigger events in this setup.
Can I specify who can access the shared link?
Describe the desired sharing level in your prompt and confirm it matches your Box policies.
What if the file changes?
The prompt should identify the Box file to share each time. The automation creates a shared link for that file when it runs.
