Trigger
New File Comment Added

Action

Why this helps
Useful contact details in file discussions are easy to miss when they need a separate research step.
- Bring a contact lookup into the flow of a file discussion.
- Reduce the need to copy an email into a separate research tool.
- Get the returned profile details in the automation report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Clearout once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check each new comment on the monitored Box file for an email address and, when one is present, use Clearout to retrieve the person's profile and report the result.
- 4Choose the Box New File Comment Added trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real comment containing an email address.
Questions about this workflow
Does the comment need to contain an email address?
