Keep Box source files and Contentful entries in sync
A revised source document can signal a change to published content. Have Notis fetch the related Contentful entry and surface what to review.
Trigger
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
Action
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
Why this helps
Updated source documents can sit unnoticed while published Contentful content becomes outdated.
- Find related Contentful content after a Box revision.
- Get a short summary of relevant published content.
- Reduce manual checks across Box and Contentful.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the Contentful entry referenced by the Box file and summarize its current content for review.
- 4Pick the Box New File Version Uploaded trigger for the source file, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real revised file that includes a Contentful entry identifier or link.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Contentful entry to look up?
The Box file needs to contain a usable entry identifier or link, or your prompt must describe how to identify the related entry. If it is missing, Notis should report that it could not identify an entry.
Does this publish changes to Contentful?
No. The available action runs a Contentful GraphQL query and can return content for review. It does not publish or update entries.
