Refresh generated PDFs after a Box file update
A new version is the cue to create an updated PDF, without adding a manual reminder to your day.
Trigger
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
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
A revised source document can leave a previously generated PDF out of date unless someone remembers to regenerate it.
- React to new versions of a specific Box file.
- Queue an updated PDF generation job when source material changes.
- Reduce the chance that an old generated document stays in circulation.
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 a new version of the watched Box file to regenerate its PDF using the relevant CraftMyPDF template.
- 4Pick the Box New File Version Uploaded trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real version update and confirm the asynchronous generation result.
Questions about this workflow
What event starts this automation?

Will it compare the old and new versions?
The trigger detects a new version. Any comparison depends on data available to Notis and should be requested in your instruction if needed.
Can it use a different template for different file types?
You can describe the template choice in your instruction. Provide the selection rules if they are not available from the Box or CraftMyPDF data.
