Why this helps
Setup decisions in document comments are easy to miss when the next step lives in a separate hotel system.
- Catch setup decisions in the conversation around the brief.
- Avoid manually checking comments for next steps.
- Report when a comment does not provide enough approved detail.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Apaleo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to review new comments on the property brief and create an Apaleo property only when the comment and brief provide clear approved details.
- 4Pick the Box new file comment trigger for the brief and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and confirm the result.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment create a property?
No. Instruct Notis to create one only when the comment and brief clearly indicate approved setup details for a new property.
Can it distinguish an approval from a question?
Notis can review the comment text, but your instruction should define what counts as approval. Ambiguous comments should be reported for review.
