Bring Box purchase order updates into Coupa
Move key context from a new Box note into the comment thread on the relevant Coupa purchase order.
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
Add Comment to Purchase Order
Tool to add a comment to a purchase order. Use when you need to add notes, feedback, or mention users on an existing purchase order.
Why this helps
Important purchase order context sits in a Box note and does not reach the Coupa record that the team checks.
- Keep purchase order context in the Coupa record.
- Cut down on copying updates between apps.
- Make newly recorded changes easier for stakeholders to see.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Coupa once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis to summarize the new note and comment on the Coupa purchase order identified in it.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger for the notes folder.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real note and purchase order.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis post the entire file as a comment?
The Coupa action adds a comment. Ask Notis to include the relevant update as concise comment text and identify the matching purchase order from the note.
What if the note does not identify a purchase order?
The workflow needs an identifier or matching rule in your instruction. Without one, Notis cannot reliably choose the correct Coupa purchase order.
