Create a Control D schedule from a Box policy approval
Turn a documented and approved DNS schedule into a Control D schedule without manually re-entering its stated timing.
Trigger
New Folder Collaboration Created
Triggers when a new collaboration is created on a specific folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new collaborations are detected.
Action
Create Profile Schedule
Tool to create a new schedule within a specific profile. Use after gathering profile_id and schedule details.
Why this helps
Approved policy schedules can sit in Box while someone still has to remember to create them in Control D.
- Reduce follow-up after a policy folder is shared for approved work.
- Use schedule details already documented in the policy.
- Get a run report when required schedule details are missing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a schedule in the specified Control D profile only when the approved Box policy explicitly provides its schedule details and target profile.
- 4Pick the Box New Folder Collaboration Created trigger for the policy folder and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real approved policy that states the schedule and profile clearly.
Questions about this workflow
Does adding a collaborator prove a policy is approved?
No. The instruction must require explicit approval and complete schedule details in the policy before creating anything.
Which schedule details should be documented?
Include the intended timing, relevant time zone, and the Control D profile. If any required details are absent, have the run report the gap.
Will this alter existing schedules?
This workflow creates a schedule. It should not be used to modify or replace existing schedules.
