Task Assignment State Changed

Triggers when a task assignment's state changes. This trigger monitors task assignments for a specific task and detects when the resolution_state changes (e.g., from incomplete to completed, or from completed to approved/rejected).

Why this helps

Task assignment changes can happen while you are away from Box, leaving important follow-up easy to miss.

  • Notice resolution changes without checking Box manually.
  • Keep approval or rejection updates visible in email.
  • Make the next follow-up easier to remember.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Agent mail once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to email a concise update when the assignment state changes, including available task and resolution details.
  • 4Choose the Box Task Assignment State Changed trigger for the task assignment to monitor.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real assignment state change.

Questions about this workflow

What state changes are covered?

The event detects changes to resolution_state, such as incomplete to completed or completed to approved or rejected.

Can the email say who changed the state?

Only if the event returns that detail. Ask Notis to include available assignment context.

Does this update the Box task?

No. The Agent mail action sends an email. It does not edit the Box task or assignment.
