Turn unit group spec changes into an Apaleo review
Use document changes as a clear prompt to check whether an Apaleo unit group needs replacement.
Trigger
File Metadata Changed
Triggers when a file's metadata or properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when changes are detected in key fields like name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
Action
Replace a unit group
Use this call to modify a unit group.<br>you must have at least one of these scopes: 'unitgroups.manage, setup.manage'.
Why this helps
A changed specification can get lost between document review and the Apaleo setup record.
- Reduce missed setup changes.
- Keep the source specification as the review point.
- Get a report when the target unit group or requested change is unclear.
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 changed unit group specifications and replace the specified Apaleo unit group only when the requested values are clear.
- 4Pick the Box file metadata changed trigger for the specification and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real specification change and verify the unit group.
Questions about this workflow
Does a Box file change contain the full specification?
The trigger signals that file properties changed. Instruct Notis to review the document and report if the changed file content or requested values are unavailable.
Can this replace a whole unit group?
The Apaleo action replaces a unit group. Use it only when your instruction identifies the intended group and the complete replacement details.
