Trigger

New File Version Uploaded

Generate PDF from webpage

This tool generates a pdf from a specified webpage using browserless's pdf generation api. it allows specifying the url of the webpage along with parameters such as format, filename, and waituntil options to control the pdf generation process.

Why this helps

A changed Box file can send people back to a web page, but capturing the page separately often gets forgotten.

  • Create a PDF reference after a monitored Box file receives a new version.
  • Keep the page capture connected to the version event report.
  • Reduce manual browser printing and saving.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Browserless once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and report channel.
  • 3Tell Notis to generate a PDF for the public webpage URL available in the new version context, and report when no URL is present.
  • 4Pick the Box New File Version Uploaded trigger for the file you want to monitor.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real version event that includes a webpage URL.

Questions about this workflow

Does Box guarantee a webpage URL in a version event?

The listed event only states that a new file version was uploaded. This workflow depends on the event context or your instruction providing a public webpage URL.

Can it create a PDF of the Box file itself?

The Browserless action generates a PDF from a webpage URL. This setup captures a webpage reference, not a Box document.
