Create a Box file link when a record needs one
Turn an explicit link-sharing request into a Box shared link for the identified file.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add shared link to file
Adds a shared link to a file.
Why this helps
A request to share a file can get lost while someone locates it and creates a link separately.
- Create a link for the file named in the request.
- Keep link creation tied to its business context.
- Reduce manual steps during document handoffs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Box once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to add a shared link to the Box file identified by each submitted record that requests link sharing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real record and review the resulting link.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide who should have access?
The access choice must be stated in the record or automation instruction. Do not ask Notis to guess sharing access.
Can this create links for folders too?
This workflow uses the file link action. Box has a separate folder link action that can support a distinct workflow.
