Add project contacts from Box to AccuLynx
New project paperwork can introduce a contact. Notis can extract the details it finds and create the contact in AccuLynx.
Trigger
New Item Added to Folder
Triggers when a new item (file, folder, or web link) is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new items are detected.
Action
Create a contact
Creates a new contact in the acculynx system with detailed information for use in roofing and construction project management. this endpoint allows for the addition of comprehensive contact details including personal information, company affiliation, communication preferences, and address information. it's particularly useful for adding new customers, leads, vendors, or any other type of contact relevant to construction projects. the endpoint provides flexibility in the amount of information that can be added, with only the contact type being required. use this when you need to add a new contact to your acculynx database or update your system with new lead information. note that while many fields are optional, providing as much information as possible will enhance the usefulness of the contact record for future project management and communication purposes.
Why this helps
Contact details buried in project folders are easy to miss, and manually adding each person slows down project setup.
- Capture contact details as project material arrives.
- Avoid manually transcribing names and communication details.
- Give the team a searchable AccuLynx contact record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and AccuLynx once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to check new items for contact information and create an AccuLynx contact when useful details are present.
- 4Choose Box's New Item Added to Folder trigger for the relevant project folder.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real item that contains contact information.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new item create a contact?
The instruction can ask Notis to create a contact only when the item contains useful contact details. New folders or web links may not contain enough information.
Can Notis fill in details that are absent from a document?
No. Missing information must be supplied by you, and the instruction should tell Notis not to guess.

Add job appointment
This endpoint allows users to schedule the initial appointment for a specific job in the acculynx system. it is used to set up the first meeting or site visit for a construction or roofing project. the endpoint requires the job id, start date and time, and end date and time for the appointment. this is crucial for initiating the project workflow and ensuring that all parties involved are aware of the scheduled time for the first interaction. the appointment details are set in the context of the company's timezone unless otherwise specified. use this endpoint when a new job has been created and the first appointment needs to be scheduled with the client or at the job site.

This endpoint creates a new lead in the acculynx system, specifically for residential roofing projects. it should be used when a new potential customer expresses interest in roofing services or when importing lead data from external sources. the endpoint captures essential contact information to initiate the lead management process. while it creates the lead, it does not assign priorities or sales representatives; these actions would need to be performed separately. the endpoint is designed for simplicity and quick lead entry, focusing on the most crucial identifying information.
