Why this helps
File feedback can get buried when people need to revisit Box just to recover the context.
- Collect comment context in a consistent brief.
- Make new feedback easier to review later.
- Reduce context switching between a file and a report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and CustomJS once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose its name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3Tell Notis to prepare an HTML review brief and convert it to PDF from available new comment details.
- 4Choose Box New File Comment Added as the trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real file comment and review the PDF.
Questions about this workflow
Will it summarize the full file?
Only if the file content is available to the automation. The trigger monitors new comments, so provide content or keep the brief focused on comment details.
Can it include older comments?
Include older comments only if they are available to the automation from Box or are supplied in the instruction.
