Create Apollo deals from Box proposals
When a proposal lands in Box, have Notis check the available deal details and create an Apollo opportunity when its required records are clear.
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
Create Apollo deal
Creates a new sales opportunity (deal) in apollo.io; all provided ids (`owner id`, `account id`, `opportunity stage id`) must be valid existing apollo identifiers.
Why this helps
Proposals can be ready to review while the corresponding opportunity is still missing from the sales pipeline.
- Reduce the gap between proposal storage and pipeline tracking.
- Use proposal context to prepare an opportunity record.
- Surface missing account or stage details in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Apollo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or from any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to review new proposal files and create an Apollo deal only when its required account and stage details are available.
- 4Choose the Box New Item Added to Folder trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real proposal and review the resulting deal.
Questions about this workflow
Why use the broader New Item Added trigger?
It detects files, folders, and web links. Instruct Notis to proceed only when the new item is a proposal file.
What does Apollo require to create a deal?
Any provided owner, account, and opportunity stage ids must be valid Apollo identifiers. The automation should report missing or unclear required details rather than guess.
Will it update an existing deal?
This workflow uses Apollo Create Deal, which creates a new opportunity. Use a separate review process to avoid duplicate deals.
