Why this helps
New collaborators may have Box access but still need manual setup before participating in Canny.
- Reduce repetitive user setup.
- Help product contributors participate in feedback.
- Use collaborator details available from the Box event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to create or update a Canny user for a new Box folder collaborator using available identity details.
- 4Pick the Box New Folder Collaboration Created trigger for the product folder and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real collaboration and review the user record.
Questions about this workflow
Will this add every Box collaborator to Canny?
The instruction can limit provisioning to people who should participate in product feedback. Avoid creating users when identity details are missing.
What if the email address is unavailable?
The run should report the missing identifier for review rather than guess the person's identity.
