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
Update Record
This tool updates an existing record in attio for a specified object type (people, companies, deals, users, workspaces, etc.). it uses patch to partially update only the provided fields, leaving other fields unchanged.
Why this helps
Changes to a key file's name or status can leave the related Attio record describing outdated work.
- Keep selected Attio details aligned with meaningful file changes.
- Reduce manual correction after a file changes.
- Use an explicit matching rule for the relevant record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Attio once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which existing Attio record to find, which available file changes matter, and which existing attributes to update.
- 4Choose the File Metadata Changed trigger for the specific Box file and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change and confirm the intended record was updated.
Questions about this workflow
Will it automatically know which Attio fields to update?
No. State the matching rule and intended existing attributes in your instruction. The action updates only the fields Notis is told to change.
Can it update fields that do not exist?
The workflow depends on existing Attio attributes. If a needed field is missing, choose another available attribute or handle the change as a note.
