Move Box access requests forward
When an email requests access to a specific Box item and names the person, Notis can create the collaboration for you.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Create collaboration
Adds a collaboration for a single user or a single group to a file or folder. collaborations can be created using email address, user ids, or a group ids. if a collaboration is being created with a group, access to this endpoint is dependent on the group's ability to be invited. if collaboration is in `pending` status, the following fields are redacted: - `login` and `name` are hidden if a collaboration was created using `user id`, - `name` is hidden if a collaboration was created using `login`.
Why this helps
Access requests wait in email while someone manually finds the item and grants collaboration.
- Reduce manual handling of clear access requests.
- Keep the person and Box item linked in the request flow.
- Make routine collaboration requests easier to process.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Box once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for Box access requests.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a collaboration on the referenced Box item for the explicitly named person, using the requested access level when provided.
- 4Pick Agent mail's New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real access request that includes the Box item and person's email address.
Questions about this workflow
Can it decide what access level to grant?
Have Notis use a level explicitly stated in the request. If the request does not specify one, instruct it to skip the action and report the missing detail.
Does this create a public link?
No. This workflow creates a collaboration with a named user on a file or folder.
