Bring repository documentation into a Box task handoff
When a review task is approved, make the repository's existing documentation easier to bring into the next step.
Trigger
Task Assignment State Changed
Triggers when a task assignment's state changes. This trigger monitors task assignments for a specific task and detects when the resolution_state changes (e.g., from incomplete to completed, or from completed to approved/rejected).
Action
Read wiki contents
View documentation about a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
Why this helps
After a Box task is approved, the next owner may have to hunt for repository guidance before continuing.
- Use an approval state change as a cue to gather repository documentation.
- Give the next owner a report containing the named repository's wiki contents.
- Reduce a separate documentation lookup during handoff.
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 tell Notis to retrieve its wiki contents for the task handoff.
- 4Pick the Box Task Assignment State Changed trigger for the relevant task, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real assignment approval and review the retrieved documentation.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run when any Box task changes?
Choose the Task Assignment State Changed event and monitor the relevant task. The event concerns assignment state changes such as completion, approval, or rejection.
Can Devin tailor wiki contents to the Box task?
The action reads wiki contents for a repository. Your instruction can ask Notis to present relevant context, but the action does not accept a task identifier.
