Keep Box file link changes visible

Notice updates to monitored file sharing settings without checking the link configuration by hand.

Trigger

File Shared Link Changed

Triggers when a file's shared link settings change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file's shared link and fires when changes are detected in the shared link configuration, such as access level, permissions, password protection, expiration date, or vanity URL.

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

Changes to a shared file link can affect access, while the update may be missed in a crowded workday.

  • Create a Databox record when monitored file link settings change.
  • Review access setting activity over time.
  • Make sharing changes easier to include in routine operations reviews.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Databox once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a Notis automation with a name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
  • 3Tell Notis to add each shared link change and available file details to an existing Databox dataset.
  • 4Choose the Box File Shared Link Changed trigger for the file to monitor.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real link setting change.

Questions about this workflow

What kinds of changes can the Box event detect?

The event can detect changes to shared link configuration such as access level, permissions, password protection, expiration date, or vanity URL.
