Assign GitHub ownership for every new Box spec
New specs should create momentum, not another thing to remember. Let Notis route each incoming Box spec to the right GitHub owner.
Trigger
New File Added to Folder
Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
Important specifications arrive in shared folders without a clear next step or accountable person.
- Creates immediate accountability
- Reduces inbox and folder checking
- Keeps product work moving without manual triage
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: “When a new product specification is added to this Box folder, identify the matching GitHub issue and assign it to the responsible owner.”
- 3Select the Box New File Added to Folder trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test it with one newly added specification and confirm the GitHub assignment.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis need a field-mapping screen?
No. You describe the routing instruction in plain language and Notis interprets the Box and GitHub context.
Can this work for multiple product folders?
Yes. Create separate automations when folders represent different products or ownership rules.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Box to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Box triggers
GitHub actions
Collaboration Details Changed
Triggers when a collaboration's details change (e.g., role, status, expiration). This trigger monitors a specific collaboration and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as role, status, expiration date, access type, or acknowledgment status.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Comment Changed
Triggers when a comment's content or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box comment and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as message text edits, tagged message changes, or modification timestamp updates.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
File Metadata Changed
Triggers when a file's metadata or properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when changes are detected in key fields like name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
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.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
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.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Folder Properties Changed
Triggers when a folder's core properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when changes are detected in properties like name, description, modification time, parent folder, item status, or shared link settings.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
