Keep briefing contributors connected to the right ActiveTrail group
A new briefing file can be the cue to keep the right people in your campaign audience without a separate contact update.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
Action
Create or Update Group Member
Tool to create or update a member in a group. Use when you need to add a new contact to a specific group or update an existing member's details. The API will not return errors if the address is already in the group.
Why this helps
New briefing files can signal an audience change, but copying contact details into a marketing group adds another task to remember.
- Reduce manual contact entry after a briefing arrives.
- Keep campaign audiences current when the file provides enough contact context.
- Review each run report for cases where the contact or group is unclear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and ActiveTrail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome in plain language, in any channel or under Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, say how to identify the contact and ActiveTrail group from the Box file context, and to add or update that member.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file and confirm the intended member was added or updated.
Questions about this workflow
Does the file need to contain an email address?
Notis needs a usable contact identifier and enough context to identify the intended group. Supply that context in your instruction or file; otherwise the run may need review.
Will this create a contact outside a group?
The selected action creates or updates a group member, so it is intended for adding or updating a contact in a specific group.
