Retire a related group membership when a Box file is trashed
A retired campaign file can be the cue to close a related temporary audience membership when the relationship is clear.
Trigger
Trashed File State Changed
Triggers when a file's trash state changes in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when its trash state changes (e.g., moved to trash or restored from trash).
Action
Delete Group Member
Tool to remove a member from a group in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to delete a contact from a specified group.
Why this helps
Retiring a file can leave behind audience membership that no longer has a purpose, with no reminder to clean it up.
- Connect campaign retirement with a clear group cleanup step.
- Reduce leftover temporary group memberships.
- Use reports when file context does not identify the related member or group.
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, describe which trashed files end an audience relationship and identify the corresponding member and ActiveTrail group.
- 4Pick the Box Trashed File State Changed trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file trash event and verify only the intended group membership is removed.
Questions about this workflow
Will restoring the file add the member back?
This workflow uses a group member removal action when the trigger reports a qualifying change. Automatic re-addition on restore is not part of this workflow.
Can the trigger see which campaign the file belongs to?
It monitors a specific file's trash state. The member and group must be identifiable from the available file context or your instruction.
