Check Contentful references after Box file details change
A renamed or reorganized Box file can make its content relationship harder to follow. Have Notis check any available Contentful reference and report the result.
Trigger
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.
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
Document metadata changes can make it harder to identify which CMS entry a source file supports.
- Prompt a quick check when file details change.
- Identify missing or unresolvable entry references.
- Keep review reports tied to the changed Box file.
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 look for a Contentful identifier or link in available Box file details and query it if present.
- 4Pick the Box File Metadata Changed trigger for the file, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metadata change on a file that has a Contentful reference.
Questions about this workflow
Can the trigger tell why the metadata changed?
It detects changes to key file fields, but the description does not promise a specific change reason. Ask Notis to report the available change details and avoid inferring a reason when none is provided.
What if the metadata has no entry reference?
Notis can report that no Contentful reference was present. Add an identifier or link to the available file details if you want a lookup.
