Track incoming Box files in Databox
Know when new files arrive in the Box folders that matter to your work.
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
Push Data to Dataset (V1)
Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema.
Why this helps
New documents can sit unnoticed in shared folders when you have no time to check them throughout the day.
- Keep an activity record of new files in a monitored folder.
- See incoming document volume alongside business metrics.
- Cut down on routine folder checking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Databox once in the Notis portal.

- 3Tell Notis to add each new file event and available file details to an existing Databox dataset.
- 4Choose the Box New File Added to Folder trigger for the folder to monitor.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test by adding one real file.

Does this trigger include folders and web links?
