Make new folder access visible in Datadog

New access to operational documents can deserve a review. Have Notis record new Box folder collaborations as Datadog events with the details available.

Trigger

New Folder Collaboration Created

Action

Create event

Access changes may need follow-up, but they can be buried among routine activity in a separate app.

  • Record new folder collaborations with a timestamp
  • Include available collaborator and folder context
  • Make access review follow-up easier to track

  • 1Connect Box and Datadog once in the Notis portal.

  • 3Tell Notis: When a new collaboration is created on the monitored Box folder, create a Datadog event with the available collaborator and folder details.
