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

List User Designs

Provides a summary of canva user designs, includes search filtering, and allows showing both self-created and shared designs with sorting options.

Why this helps

Renamed or updated Box files can break the mental link to the Canva designs connected to that work.

  • Make related Canva work easier to rediscover after a Box change.
  • Reduce manual searching across Canva projects.
  • Get a concise set of possible design matches for review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Canva once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for design rediscovery.
  • 3Tell Notis in one plain-language instruction to search Canva designs using the changed Box file details and summarize likely matches.
  • 4Choose the Box File Metadata Changed trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real metadata change.

Questions about this workflow

Can this guarantee a correct match?

No. A search can return likely matches. Review the results before treating a Canva design as connected to the Box file.

What information should the search use?

Ask Notis to use changed details such as the file name or description when those values are available in the trigger data.
