Keep your document automation inventory in view

When a Box folder gets a new item, Notis can retrieve your DocsAutomator automation list and summarize what is already set up for review.

Trigger

New Item Added to Folder

Triggers when a new item (file, folder, or web link) is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new items are detected.

Action

List Automations

Tool to retrieve all automations in your workspace with their basic details. Use when you need to view, list, or enumerate existing automations.

Why this helps

New process material arrives in Box, while existing document automations are tracked somewhere else.

  • Pair a Box folder update with a fresh list of DocsAutomator automations.
  • Make existing automations easier to review when new process material arrives.
  • Get a concise inventory in your chosen report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and DocsAutomator once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
  • 3Describe that a new item in the chosen Box folder should prompt a DocsAutomator automation inventory and a short report.
  • 4Pick the Box New Item Added to Folder trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test by adding one real item to the monitored folder and review the report.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create an automation for the new Box item?

No. It lists existing DocsAutomator automations for review.

Can the report identify which automation relates to the new item?

Not unless the item and automation list provide enough information for Notis to make that connection. State any matching context in your instruction.
