Make contact retention review a scheduled task

Set a recurring review for the contact file you name, then apply a Box retention policy only when your decision rule calls for it.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Assign retention policy

Applies a retention policy to content.

Why this helps

Retention review can be forgotten when it depends on remembering a calendar reminder and repeating manual checks.

  • Put a recurring review on a dependable schedule.
  • Use returned validation results as review context.
  • Apply policy only under a rule you provide.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abstract and Box once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Describe the contact file to review, the Abstract email check, and the condition and retention policy to apply in Box.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real file and confirm the policy assignment behavior.

Questions about this workflow

Does Abstract decide the retention period?

No. Specify the Box retention policy and your decision rule.

What file will the schedule review?

Name the Box file or source of contact data in your instruction and ensure the connected account can access it.
