Create a Brex expense when a receipt reaches Box
Drop receipts into Box and let Notis prepare the Brex expense, so documenting a purchase does not become another task to remember.
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 Expense
Create a new expense.
Why this helps
Receipts can sit in a folder long after the purchase, leaving expense records incomplete and follow-up easy to forget.
- Reduce manual re-entry of receipt details.
- Keep expense follow-up close to the moment a receipt is filed.
- Review the result through your selected run report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Brex once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to read each new receipt in the chosen Box folder and create a Brex expense using only details available in the receipt; report missing details for review.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real receipt and review the created expense and report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow attach the Box receipt to the Brex expense?
The listed Brex action creates an expense, but the available action description does not specify receipt attachment. The prompt can ask Notis to report the Box file reference for follow-up.
What happens if key receipt details are missing?
Ask Notis to report which details are missing and leave the expense for review rather than guessing.
Can I limit this to receipts?
Choose a Box folder used for receipts when selecting the folder monitored by the trigger.
