Turn Box file comments into review cards
A comment can contain a decision, a question, or a request. Put it in a Basecamp card so the right follow-up stays visible.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Action
Create Card in Column
Tool to create a new card in a column of a Basecamp card table. Use when you need to add a card to a card table column with optional content and due date.
Why this helps
Important feedback gets lost when comments stay separate from the team's task board.
- Bring document feedback into a visible Basecamp board.
- Give each comment a clear place for follow-up.
- Reduce switching between Box and Basecamp to track requests.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Basecamp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Basecamp card for each new Box file comment, capturing the comment text and source file details when available.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and review the created card.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger include edited comments?
No. This trigger fires when a new comment is added. Edited comments use the separate Comment Changed event.
Can the card include a response deadline?
The card action supports an optional due date. State the deadline rule in your instruction, based on information your workflow can access.
