Bring the right collaborator into a Box folder
Turn a sharing handoff into a Box collaboration using the person and folder identified in the record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create collaboration
Adds a user or group as a collaborator on a file or folder.
Why this helps
Sharing can get delayed when a handoff requires someone to revisit the record and invite a collaborator manually.
- Create a collaboration from a stated sharing request.
- Keep the intended person and folder together in the handoff.
- Reduce invite steps after intake.
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.
- 3Ask Notis to create a Box collaboration for each submitted record that specifies a collaborator, target item, and access level.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real sharing request and confirm the collaborator and item.
