Turn Box file comments into a clear next-step summary
Comments often contain the request that moves a document forward. Have Notis gather the new discussion into a short, useful summary.
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
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Requests and decisions get buried in file comments, creating another thread to revisit later.
- Make requests and decisions easier to scan.
- Keep open questions visible in a shareable artifact.
- Reduce the need to revisit a comment thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the comment summary outcome.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize new comments on the chosen Box file into requests, decisions and open questions, then generate a PDF with DocRaptor.
- 4Choose the new file comment trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test by adding one real comment and review the PDF summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger on edited comments?
No. This workflow uses the new file comment event, which fires when a new comment is added.
Can it include the full comment thread?
The instruction can ask for relevant context, but the workflow depends on the comment data available to Notis.
