Action

  • Turn file metadata changes into a review cue
  • Retrieve metadata for a known Aryn docset
  • Receive returned usage information in a run report

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Aryn to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction and provide the Aryn docset ID to check after the Box file change.
  • 4Pick File Metadata Changed in Box as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real example and verify the returned metadata is for the intended docset.

Questions about this workflow

Does this update the Aryn docset to match Box?

No. The available action retrieves metadata for a docset; it does not update or synchronize it.

Can the Box event identify the Aryn docset automatically?

No matching action is listed. Include the Aryn docset ID in your instruction.
