Ask a focused question about records that have not moved, using the context available for the review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Ask question
Answers questions about files using their content.
Why this helps
Stalled records can sit unnoticed when nobody has time to scan and interpret the backlog.
- Bring stale records back into view on a schedule.
- Ask a consistent question about the supplied context.
- Use run reports to identify items needing attention.
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 find stale AnyDB records and ask Box's question action the specified question using context supplied for those records.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real stale record and confirm the context supports the question.
Questions about this workflow
Can Box answer without supplied context?
The action answers based on provided context. Include relevant context or have Notis report when it is missing.
How does the automation know a record is stale?
The data must include a last-updated value or a clear stale indicator that Notis can inspect.
