Refresh database discovery when a Box folder changes

A renamed, moved, or otherwise updated folder can signal a project change. Notis can list available ClickHouse databases to support your review.

Trigger

Folder Properties Changed

Triggers when a folder's core properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when changes are detected in properties like name, description, modification time, parent folder, item status, or shared link settings.

Action

List ClickHouse Databases

List all databases in the clickhouse instance. useful for discovering available databases before querying tables.

Why this helps

Folder changes can alter project context, while discovering available analytics environments takes a separate step.

  • Get an updated database list after a monitored folder change.
  • Keep the discovery result with the folder change report.
  • Support a quick review when folder organization shifts.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and ClickHouse once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for folder change discovery.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to list ClickHouse databases and summarize how the list should support your review.
  • 4Pick Box's Folder Properties Changed trigger and select the folder to monitor.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real folder change and review the output.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis determine which database belongs to the folder?

The action lists databases but does not establish a folder-to-database relationship. Supply that relationship if you want it considered.

Which folder changes are covered?

The event covers meaningful properties such as name, description, modification time, parent folder, item status, or shared link settings.
