Why this helps
Manually moving incoming spreadsheets into an import flow adds busywork and makes it easier for a new file to sit unnoticed.
- Start the Dromo import flow when a new spreadsheet arrives in Box.
- Cut down on manual file handling between storage and data import.
- Keep incoming spreadsheets together in Box while sending them for processing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Box and Dromo accounts to Notis once in the portal, and make sure the Dromo headless import upload URL can be obtained for the import you intend to use.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use the new file from the watched Box folder and upload its raw bytes to the intended Dromo headless import using its signed upload URL.
- 4Pick the Box New File Added to Folder trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real spreadsheet and confirm Dromo receives it.
Questions about this workflow
Which Box files start this automation?
The New File Added to Folder event watches a specific Box folder and detects new files in it. It does not monitor folders or web links.
Does this action create the Dromo import configuration?
No. The Dromo action uploads raw file bytes to a headless import using a signed upload URL. The intended import and a way to obtain its signed URL need to be available.
Can it validate or transform the spreadsheet?
Dromo's import flow can handle validation and transformations when configured for them. This action sends the file; it does not itself configure Dromo's column matching or validation rules.
