Make Box task assignment changes searchable
A task assignment is completed, approved, or rejected. Notis updates the corresponding Algolia record with that state.
Trigger
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).
Action
Partial Update Objects
Tool to partially update multiple records in the specified index. use when you need to change only selected fields of many objects without replacing entire records. use after confirming objectids and desired updates.
Why this helps
Task decisions get missed when searchable work records do not reflect the latest resolution state.
- Keep work records aligned with assignment decisions.
- Reduce manual status copying.
- Make completed and unresolved items easier to find.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe that Notis should identify the existing Algolia record for the task assignment and update its resolution state.
- 4Pick Task Assignment State Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real assignment state change and review the record.
Questions about this workflow
Can this assign or resolve Box tasks?
No. The Algolia action updates a search record; the Box event supplies the task assignment state change.
What does the matching record need?
It needs an identifier Notis can match to the Box task or assignment, such as a stored Box task ID.
