Keep Box file links current in Dub
Update one easy-to-share Dub link whenever the Box file link changes.
Trigger
File Shared Link Changed
Triggers when a file's shared link settings change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file's shared link and fires when changes are detected in the shared link configuration, such as access level, permissions, password protection, expiration date, or vanity URL.
Action
Upsert a Link
Tool to create or update a short link in Dub. Use when you need to create a new short link or update an existing one. If the link already exists (matching domain and key), it will be updated; otherwise, a new link will be created.
Why this helps
A changed Box share URL can leave old Dub links pointing to an outdated destination, creating extra follow-up for everyone sharing the file.
- Keeps the Dub destination aligned with the Box shared URL.
- Reduces manual link checks after Box sharing changes.
- Preserves one familiar short link when its domain and key are stable.
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 upsert a Dub short link using the changed Box shared URL as its destination, with your chosen Dub domain and key.
- 4Choose Box's File Shared Link Changed trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real Box file that has a shared link.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Dub link for every Box file?
It runs when the selected Box file's shared link settings change. The prompt should identify the intended Dub domain and key.
What if the Box file does not have a shared URL?
The automation needs a shared URL to set as the Dub destination. Test with a file that has a valid shared link.
