  • 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

Does Cloudlayer convert comment text directly?

The listed action converts base64-encoded HTML to an image. Ask Notis to prepare suitable HTML from the comment if that content is available.

Can the image include the file name or author?

You can request those details in the card if the Box event data makes them available to Notis.

Can this workflow add the image back to Box?

The listed action renders an image. It does not include a Box upload action.
