Action

Why this helps

Updating a template in one place and then remembering to upload it to the report service creates extra steps and room for version mixups.

  • Use a new Box folder item as a cue for a template upload.
  • Keep template intake connected to the Box folder where files arrive.
  • Reduce repeated manual upload steps.

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.
  • 3Describe whether the new item should be uploaded as a new template or replace an existing one, and name the intended template identifier if replacing.
  • 4Choose New Item Added to Folder as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real template file and review the Carbone upload result.

Questions about this workflow

Can the new item be a folder or web link?

This trigger can detect a file, folder, or web link. Template upload requires usable template file content, so specify how Notis should handle items that are not files.

Will this create a template identifier automatically?

This workflow uses the Upload a template action. If you need a new identifier, create a separate workflow using Carbone's Generate Template ID action.

Can it replace an existing template?

The instruction can name the intended template and say whether to replace it. Confirm the correct template identifier before using a replacement.
