Get Elasticsearch context when a Box file receives a comment
A new Box comment can raise a question that has already been answered elsewhere. Search Elasticsearch for related context and bring the results into one report.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Fires when a new comment is added to a file.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
Finding related decisions and documents takes time when a Box comment arrives without the background needed to respond.
- Find indexed documents related to a new comment
- See useful context in the automation run report
- Reduce manual searching before replying
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Box and Elasticsearch accounts once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis what outcome you want from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to search a chosen Elasticsearch index for documents related to each new Box file comment and report relevant matches.
- 4Choose the Box New File Comment Added trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Box comment and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow add a reply to the Box comment?
No. The available Elasticsearch action searches an index and returns results for the run report. It does not post a Box reply.
What information can it use to search?
It can use details provided by the Box comment event. Results depend on what is indexed in Elasticsearch and the index you specify.
