Give incoming Box items a simple intake process
See what arrived and what needs attention without checking the folder again and again.
Trigger
New Item Added to Folder
Triggers when a new item (file, folder, or web link) is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new items are detected.
Action
Create doc
Creates a new coda doc, optionally copying an existing doc. note that creating a doc requires you to be a doc maker in the applicable workspace (or be auto-promoted to one).
Why this helps
New files and folders can quietly pile up in shared Box folders until someone remembers to review them.
- Create a visible intake record when an item arrives
- Summarize available item context for faster triage
- Keep incoming work from blending into the backlog

- 4Pick the Box New Item Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real item added to the folder and check the intake doc.
