Get a review pack when a Box file changes
A revised file can hide a small but important change. Ask Notis to inspect the new version and prepare a review-ready PDF.
Trigger
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
Action
Create Async Document
Tool to create documents asynchronously from HTML content. Use when generating PDF, XLS, or XLSX documents and you need to poll for completion status or use a callback URL for notification.
Why this helps
Keeping track of revised Box documents can mean reopening files and manually recalling what changed.
- Surface noteworthy content in the new version.
- Create a review artifact without interrupting other work.
- Use async generation for longer documents.
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 give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review each new version of the chosen Box file and create a DocRaptor PDF review pack noting significant changes.
- 4Choose the new file version trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real version update and check the completed PDF.
Questions about this workflow
Does this compare the old and new versions?
Ask Notis to compare them in the instruction. The automation can only make a comparison if both versions are available to it.
Why use asynchronous generation?
The async action is suited to document generation where completion may need to be checked or reported later.
