Keep Box file discussions visible in Discord

Turn new Box comments into a clear Discord heads-up, with the file and comment context your team needs to respond.

Trigger

New File Comment Added

Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.

Action

Post message to channel

Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.

Why this helps

Review feedback can sit unnoticed in Box while the people who need to act are already working in Discord.

  • Bring file feedback into the team's daily workspace.
  • Reduce manual checking across Box and Discord.
  • Make it easier to spot unanswered review questions.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Discordbot once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to post each new comment with its file context to your review channel.
  • 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real Box file comment.
