Clear the backlog of records without a Box folder
Let a scheduled review find records that still need a document home and create their Box folders.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create folder
Creates an empty folder inside another folder.
Why this helps
Unfiled records accumulate when folder creation depends on someone remembering a separate setup step.
- Review records on a predictable schedule.
- Create folders for records missing a document home.
- Reduce recurring setup work.
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 review AnyDB records that are missing a Box folder reference and create a folder for each eligible record.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real unfiled record and review the created folder.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis identify which records are unfiled?
The automation needs access to the relevant AnyDB records and a way to identify records without a folder reference. If that information is unavailable, supply the record set or criteria.
How often will this run?
Choose the recurring schedule in the automation setup.
