Keep Bubble records current with Box file changes
When a Box file's details change, have Notis update the relevant Bubble record with the returned changes so your team can work from current information.
Trigger
File Metadata Changed
Triggers when a file's metadata or properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when changes are detected in key fields like name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
Action
Patch Thing By ID
Tool to modify selected fields on a Thing by its unique ID. Use after confirming the Thing exists.
Why this helps
A file can be renamed or moved while the Bubble record that points to it stays stale, creating extra checking and confusion.
- Reduce stale document references
- Avoid manually checking for file changes
- Keep Bubble records aligned with Box event details

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Bubble once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis how to identify the related Bubble record and which returned Box file changes should update it.
- 3Pick the Box File Metadata Changed trigger for the file to monitor.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with a real file property change and verify the intended Bubble record was updated.
