Prepare a separate working copy for the job
When a handoff calls for a working copy, identify the original Box file and destination in the request. Notis creates a copy while leaving the original unchanged.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Copy file
Creates a copy of a file.
Why this helps

Questions about this workflow
Does this copy an entire folder?
No. This workflow uses the Box copy file action. Box has a separate action for copying folders.
Does the original change?
No. The copy action creates a copy and does not change the original file.
