Give new Box intake items Contentful context
New items in an intake folder may relate to content already in your CMS. Use a registered persisted query to fetch the matching entry and return a short context note.
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
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Why this helps
New intake items can pile up without a quick way to connect them to existing content.
- Query Contentful using a registered persisted query.
- Surface related content as new items arrive.
- Make intake triage easier with a focused report.
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 item reference and run the registered persisted query with the needed variables.
- 4Pick the Box New Item Added to Folder trigger for the intake folder, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real item and a persisted query hash already registered in Contentful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow register a persisted query?
No. The listed action executes a persisted query by hash. The query must already be registered; its first call also requires the full query text.
Can it handle a new folder or web link?
The trigger covers files, folders, and web links. Whether a useful lookup is possible depends on the item's available details and your prompt.
