Resolve a place when a Box folder gets a new item

Have Notis resolve a known place into coordinates when a folder update signals that location work is starting.

Trigger

New Item Added to Folder

Triggers when a new item (file, folder, or web link) is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new items are detected.

Action

Geocode by Place

Tool to transform a place name or address into geographic coordinates. use after confirming the location name to get precise latitude and longitude.

Why this helps

Looking up coordinates interrupts the start of a location review and can leave follow-up work waiting.

  • Turn a specified place name into geographic coordinates.
  • Use a folder event to start location-related work.
  • Keep the source of the place explicit in the prompt.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Ambee once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to geocode the place you specify when a new item is added to the relevant Box folder.
  • 4Pick Box's New Item Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real folder item and check the returned coordinates.

Questions about this workflow

Does this extract a place name from the new item?

No such extraction is guaranteed by the listed trigger. Specify the place in your instruction.
