Why this helps
New material can land in a shared folder unnoticed, leaving you to discover it later during a context switch.
- Notice new folder items without checking Box repeatedly.
- Receive a concise summary that supports a quick next step.
- Make incoming work easier to triage from email.

Questions about this workflow
What kinds of items can start this workflow?
The Box event covers a new file, folder, or web link added to the chosen folder.
Can I limit it to only certain item types?
The setup uses the listed folder event and does not provide a filter builder. You can ask Notis to handle returned item details according to your instruction.
What if the event does not include enough intake context?
Notis can summarize returned data. Add any essential intake rules or context to your instruction.
