Why this helps
A link request buried in file comments can mean switching apps, searching Dub, and then remembering to reply or follow up.
- Surfaces matching Dub links from a Box comment request.
- Reduces app switching when collaborators ask about a campaign link.
- Routes the search results to a chosen Notis report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Dub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to search Dub links for the short link, destination, or campaign terms named in a new Box file comment, then summarize likely matches.
- 4Choose Box's New File Comment Added trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real comment that includes a Dub short link or campaign term.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change any Dub links?
No. It searches the workspace's links and reports matching results.
What should a comment include for useful matches?
