Make new Box files easier to notice

Create an at-a-glance card for each new file arriving in a monitored folder.

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

Convert HTML to PNG

Tool to convert HTML string to PNG image. Use when you need a PNG from HTML after preparing your markup.

Why this helps

New files can sit unnoticed in shared folders while founders focus on other work.

  • Make new arrivals visible in a report channel.
  • Create consistent file intake snapshots.
  • Spend less time checking folders manually.

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 render a PNG from HTML showing the new file details available in the event.
  • 4Choose Box New File Added to Folder as the trigger and select where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real file and review the image.

Questions about this workflow

Does this work for folders and links too?

No. This trigger monitors new files only. Use New Item Added to Folder for files, folders, and web links.

Can the image preview the file?

Only if the file preview or content is available to the automation. The event itself detects a new file.
