Why this helps
Changes to a Box file's name or description can go unnoticed by the person who needs to check related implementation details.
- Prompt a repository check when key Box file properties change.
- Use the file name and changed details to frame a focused question.
- Bring repository findings into the run report for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Devin MCP once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, name the repository and explain which kinds of file detail changes should prompt a question to Devin.
- 4Pick the Box File Metadata Changed trigger for the engineering file, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real metadata update and confirm the question has enough context.
