Trigger

Action
BoxHero - List Locations

Why this helps
A view rename can make location references in a handoff or checklist harder to recognize later.
- Show current Boxhero location names after a view metadata change.
- Prompt a check of references you maintain in Airtable or your process notes.
- Reduce confusion when inventory views change names or purpose.

- 5Test with one real example by changing a view name or type and checking the report.
