Give each new Box file a triage task
New files deserve a clear next step. Notis can put each new file from a monitored Box folder into an Asana triage task.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
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
New documents can be overlooked when teammates have to notice them by browsing the folder.
- Make new files visible for review
- Keep the file name and available context with the task
- Reduce manual folder checks
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 triage task for each new file in the monitored Box folder, including the file details available from the event.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file addition and review the task.
Questions about this workflow
Will this run for folders and links too?
No. This Box trigger monitors new files only. Use the New Item Added to Folder event if you also want folders and web links.
Can the task include the document contents?
The event detects the new file and its available details. Ask Notis to include only the information available to it, or provide additional context in your instruction.
