Questions about this workflow
What starts the email?
A new assignment added to the specific Box task you monitor.
Can it include task instructions?
Ask Notis to include available task context. Details not returned by the event need to be supplied separately.
Does the automation assign the task?
No. It only sends an email after Box reports a new assignment.
