A file moved to trash or restored can change what your team can access, and the change may go unnoticed.

- Keep unexpected file state changes visible in email.
- Follow up without repeatedly checking Box.

- 1Connect Box and Agent mail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to email a short notice when the file's trash state changes, including the new state if available.
- 4Choose the Box Trashed File State Changed trigger for the file to monitor.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real trash state change.
Questions about this workflow
Which changes trigger this email?
The event fires when the monitored file moves to trash or is restored.
Will this restore a file automatically?
No. The action sends an email and does not alter the file.
Can the email say who changed the state?
Ask Notis to include that detail if Box returns it. If it is missing, it must be supplied separately.
