Recall past Beeminder goals during Box sign-off

A new sign request may connect to work you tracked before. Review archived goals while the document is already in view.

Trigger

New Sign Request Created

Triggers when a new Box sign request is created. This trigger monitors Box sign requests and fires when new sign requests are detected.

Action

Get Archived Goals

Tool to retrieve archived goals for a specified user. use when you need to inspect a user's past archived goals.

Why this helps

Past commitments can disappear from view after archiving, just when a new agreement brings the same work back around.

  • Retrieve archived Beeminder goals when a Box sign request is created.
  • Get a retrospective report that can help identify related past commitments.
  • Review available goal history without manually searching another app.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Beeminder once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve archived Beeminder goals when a sign request is created and report potentially related past goals only when the available context supports the connection.
  • 4Choose the New Sign Request Created trigger for the Box sign requests you want to monitor.
  • 5Choose a report channel, test with one real sign request, and review the result.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow determine whether the new document repeats an old commitment?

It can compare context available in the event and archived goal response, but it should report uncertainty when those details are not enough to establish a connection.

Does this create or send a Box Sign request?

No. The Box event starts the workflow, and the Beeminder action retrieves archived goals. It does not create or alter sign requests.
