Create heartbeat groups from Box monitoring plans
Drop a monitoring plan into Box and let Notis create the matching heartbeat group in Better Stack.
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 Heartbeat Group
Tool to create a new heartbeat group. use when you need to organize related heartbeat checks under a single, logical group. example prompt: "create a new heartbeat group named 'backend services'."
Why this helps
Monitoring plans can sit in Box long after someone has finished the manual setup in Better Stack.
- Turn a documented monitoring plan into a Better Stack group with less manual re-entry.
- Keep the plan and the resulting monitoring organization connected through an event-driven workflow.
- Use the document contents to guide the group name.
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 each new file in the monitoring-plans folder and create a Better Stack heartbeat group using the group name stated in the plan.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger for the monitoring-plans folder.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real monitoring plan.
Questions about this workflow
What should the Box document include?
Include the desired heartbeat group name. Notis can use the document contents, but the action creates a group and does not configure individual heartbeat checks.
Will this run for folders or web links too?
No. The selected Box trigger monitors new files in the chosen folder.
