Keep Better Stack source groups aligned with Box change requests
Put the requested source group change in a Box comment and let Notis apply it in Better Stack.
Trigger
Comment Changed
Triggers when a comment's content or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box comment and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as message text edits, tagged message changes, or modification timestamp updates.
Action
Update Source Group
Tool to update an existing source group. use when you need to rename or reorder a source group.
Why this helps
A naming or ordering request in a Box discussion can be easy to miss when the update has to be repeated elsewhere.
- Carry an updated source group instruction from a Box discussion into Better Stack.
- Reduce manual follow-up for straightforward rename or ordering changes.
- Keep the request visible in its original Box conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to read the changed comment and update the Better Stack source group only when the comment clearly identifies the group and requested name or sort order.
- 4Pick the Box Comment Changed trigger for the relevant comment.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real comment change.
Questions about this workflow
What details should the comment contain?
State the intended group name or sort order and identify the Better Stack source group to change. If the comment is ambiguous, the instruction should have Notis report the uncertainty instead of guessing.
Does this create a new source group?
No. This workflow updates an existing source group using the Better Stack action.
