Start project access in one move
A new project folder often means a new collaborator needs access. Let Notis carry that setup into GitHub.
Trigger
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.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Founders create project spaces but forget the corresponding repository permission step.
- Speeds project kickoff
- Reduces permission-related delays
- Creates consistent onboarding
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation with: “When a new project folder is added here, identify the approved collaborator and add them to the matching GitHub repository with the appropriate permission.”
- 3Choose New Item Added to Folder as the Box trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 4Create a test project folder and verify the collaborator invitation or access update.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know who should get access?
State the relationship between folder naming, project context, and approved collaborator in the instruction.
Can this use different permission levels?
Yes. Include the permission rule in plain language.

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
