Get new Box files into your analysis sandbox
Stop moving files by hand before every analysis session. A new file in your chosen Box folder can be uploaded to the sandbox and made ready for the next step.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
Action
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
Why this helps
Manual file transfers between Box and a coding environment create busywork and delay analysis when new material arrives.
- Reduce manual download and upload steps
- Keep newly added files ready in the sandbox for analysis
- Use one consistent handoff for files arriving in a Box folder
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, describe which new files to upload and how to name or organize them in the sandbox.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger for the folder.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run Python analysis too?
This workflow uploads a file into the sandbox. To analyze it, describe the Python work as part of the instruction if your automation run is set up to do both.
What folder is monitored?
Choose the Box folder when selecting the New File Added to Folder trigger. The trigger is limited to files added to that folder.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Box to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Box triggers
Codeinterpreter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Sandbox
Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.
Collaboration Details Changed
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.
Get File
Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.
Comment Changed
Triggers when a comment's content or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box comment and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as message text edits, tagged message changes, or modification timestamp updates.
Run Terminal Command
Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.
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.
Upload File
Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.
File Metadata Changed
Triggers when a file's metadata or properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when changes are detected in key fields like name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
File Shared Link Changed
Triggers when a file's shared link settings change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file's shared link and fires when changes are detected in the shared link configuration, such as access level, permissions, password protection, expiration date, or vanity URL.
New File Version Uploaded
