Check Cal availability when a Box file comment requests a meeting
Keep scheduling requests attached to the document where they came up. Notis can check Cal availability when a new Box comment asks to arrange a meeting.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Action
Check calendar availability
Retrieves free/busy availability for a specified calendar to aid scheduling without revealing event details; requires an existing, accessible calendar, noting that data granularity can vary.
Why this helps
Meeting requests in document comments are easy to miss, and checking availability means leaving the file and opening another app.
- Catch meeting requests where they appear in Box.
- Get a free and busy availability result without exposing event details.
- Keep the result in your selected run report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to check the relevant Cal calendar's availability when a new Box file comment asks to arrange a meeting.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment and confirm the availability result is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this book the meeting?
No. The Cal action checks free and busy availability. It does not create a booking.
What should the comment include?
Include enough context for Notis to identify the calendar to check. The calendar must already exist and be accessible in Cal.
