Close out temporary group access when a Box task is approved

When an approval completes a temporary coordination phase, clean up the related group membership with one clear rule.

Trigger

Task Assignment State Changed

Triggers when a task assignment's state changes. This trigger monitors task assignments for a specific task and detects when the resolution_state changes (e.g., from incomplete to completed, or from completed to approved/rejected).

Action

Delete group member

Tool to delete a group member by ID. Use when you need to remove a contact from a specific group in ActiveTrail.

Why this helps

Temporary audience memberships often linger after task approvals because closing the work and cleaning up the group are separate tasks.

  • Tie a temporary group cleanup to a clear approval state.
  • Reduce manual cleanup reminders after task completion.
  • Keep uncertain membership relationships visible in the report.

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, identify the approved assignment state, assignee, and temporary ActiveTrail group that should lose the member.
  • 4Pick the Box Task Assignment State Changed trigger, then choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real approved assignment and verify the group member removal.

Questions about this workflow

Will this delete the contact from ActiveTrail?

No. The action deletes group membership by member ID. It does not delete the contact from the account.

Can it remove someone from any group they belong to?

Your instruction must identify the relevant group and member. Keep the cleanup limited to the temporary audience relationship you intend.
