Why this helps
Manually noticing a release file and then switching to CircleCI to start its build adds a step that can be missed.
- Kick off the release build when its source file arrives.
- Reduce manual handoffs between Box and CircleCI.
- Send run reports to a channel you already check.

- 1Connect Box and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which CircleCI project and branch to build when a release file is added.
- 3Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger and the folder to watch.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real release file.
Questions about this workflow
