Move actionable Box comments into ClickUp
When a comment asks for work, turn it into a task with enough context to pick up the thread.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Action
Create a task
Creates a new clickup task in a specific list, optionally as a subtask if a `parent` task id (which cannot be a subtask itself and must be in the same list) is provided.
Why this helps
Requests buried in file comments can be forgotten or separated from the team's task list.
- Capture requests made in Box file comments.
- Keep the original comment context with the task.
- Reduce the need to scan file discussions for open work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and ClickUp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a ClickUp task for comments that request an action and include the available comment and file context.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file comment that requests work.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment create a task?
Tell Notis to create tasks only for comments that request action. The trigger runs when a new comment is detected.
What if a comment does not name an owner or due date?
Have Notis include those details only when supplied. Add any required owner or due date in your instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Box to Clickup. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Box triggers
Clickup actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add dependency
Adds a 'waiting on' or 'blocking' dependency to a task, requiring either `depends on` (task becomes waiting on) or `dependency of` (task becomes blocking), but not both; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add guest to folder
Adds a guest to a folder with specified permissions; requires a clickup enterprise plan.

Triggers when a collaboration's details change (e.g., role, status, expiration). This trigger monitors a specific collaboration and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as role, status, expiration date, access type, or acknowledgment status.
Add guest to list
Shares a clickup list with an existing guest user, granting them specified permissions; requires the workspace to be on the clickup enterprise plan.
