Move product requests from Box comments into Altoviz
Keep product details from getting buried in file discussions. Notis can turn a clearly specified request in a new Box comment into an Altoviz product.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Action
Create Product
Creates a new product in the altoviz system. this tool allows for the independent creation of a product with all necessary details.
Why this helps
Product requests hidden in document comments can be easy to miss or re-enter later by hand.
- Catch product requests where the discussion already happens.
- Reduce repeated typing when a comment contains the details needed to create a product.
- Get a report when a request is incomplete or ambiguous.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Altoviz once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review each new file comment, create an Altoviz product only when the comment clearly supplies the necessary product details, and report incomplete requests for review.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger for the relevant file and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment containing a product request.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment create a product?
No. Instruct Notis to create a product only when the comment clearly contains the details needed for the action, and to report unclear requests for review.
What happens when product details are missing?
Notis can report the missing information so you can clarify the request before creating the product.
Does the trigger watch all Box files?
The New File Comment Added trigger monitors a specific Box file. Select the relevant file when setting up the automation.
