Capture Box task assignees as ActiveTrail contacts
Keep a new task owner's contact details handy for future communication without a separate data entry step.
Trigger
New Task Assignment Added
Triggers when a new assignment is added to a task in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box task and fires when new assignments are detected.
Action
Create Contact
Tool to create a new contact in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new contact to the system. Note: Newly created contacts won't be linked to any group, making email/SMS delivery impossible until assigned to a group. Either email or sms must be provided.
Why this helps
A new task assignee can become a stakeholder to contact, but their details may stay buried in a Box task.
- Capture assignee details when a task assignment is created.
- Reduce manual contact setup for future outreach.
- See when email details are missing and need follow-up.
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, tell Notis to create a contact for the assignee using available details, only when an email is present.
- 4Pick the Box New Task Assignment Added trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real assignment and verify the contact record.
Questions about this workflow
Will the contact be added to a mailing group?
No. This action creates a contact record and does not link it to a group. Group membership requires a separate action and clear group context.
What happens if there is no email address?
ActiveTrail requires either email or SMS to create a contact. The run report should identify that the assignment needs more contact information.
