Trigger

New File Added to Folder

Action

Generate Carbone Report

Tool to generate a carbone report from a template and json data. use when you need to render documents in various formats.

Why this helps

Turning source files into reports by hand adds repetitive work and makes it easy for new material to sit unnoticed.

  • Start report generation as soon as a file arrives in the monitored folder.
  • Use one plain language instruction to explain the report outcome.
  • Reduce manual handoffs between file storage and report creation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Carbone once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what to do from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, name the Carbone template and describe how to use the new Box file as report data.
  • 4Choose New File Added to Folder as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real Box file and review the generated report.

Questions about this workflow

Does this run for folders added to Box?

No. This trigger watches for new files in the selected Box folder.

Which Carbone template will be used?

Name the template in your instruction. Make sure it is available in Carbone before testing.

Can Notis infer report data from the file?

Notis can analyze returned file data, but your instruction should say which information to use and how to handle anything missing.
