Questions about this workflow
Will Notis know which Crowdin file corresponds to the Box file?
Provide a matching rule in the instruction, such as a shared filename. The connected apps must expose enough information to identify it.
Which Box properties can trigger this?
The event detects changes to key file fields such as name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
Can it update the Crowdin source file contents?
This workflow uses Edit File to update file details. Uploading revised contents is a separate process.
