Triage new Box folder items in Asana
Give every new intake item a place in your work queue. Notis can create an Asana task when a Box folder gets a new item.
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 task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Incoming files and links can sit unnoticed in shared Box folders without an owner or next step.
- Make new folder additions visible in an Asana queue
- Capture item details for a later decision
- Cut down on checking shared folders manually
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome in plain language, from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Ask Notis to create an Asana intake task for each new item in the monitored Box folder, including the available item details.
- 4Pick the Box New Item Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real item added to the folder and review the task.
