Turn new Box files into finished PDFs
Drop a file into Box and let Notis prepare the matching PDF in the background.
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
Create PDF Asynchronously
Tool to queue asynchronous PDF generation via webhook. Use when you need to generate a PDF in the background and receive the result via a webhook.
Why this helps
New documents often need a repeatable PDF version, and manually moving between storage and a template editor adds avoidable work.
- Start PDF generation as soon as a file is added to the watched Box folder.
- Reuse the appropriate CraftMyPDF template for recurring document types.
- Receive the asynchronous generation result through a webhook.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and CraftMyPDF once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use new files in the chosen Box folder to generate PDFs with the matching CraftMyPDF template.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real file and confirm the generated PDF result arrives through the webhook.
