Reflect Box task resolution in GitHub
Completed is not the same as approved, and rejected is not the same as forgotten. Preserve that distinction in GitHub.
Trigger
Task Assignment State Changed
Triggers when a task assignment's state changes. This trigger monitors task assignments for a specific task and detects when the resolution_state changes (e.g., from incomplete to completed, or from completed to approved/rejected).
Action
Add labels to an issue
Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.
Why this helps
Teams lose the meaning of document-task outcomes when execution happens in another tool.
- Preserves completion context
- Reduces status reconciliation
- Helps teams act on exceptions quickly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation with: “When this Box task assignment changes state, find the related GitHub item and add the appropriate outcome label.”
- 3Choose Task Assignment State Changed as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 4Resolve one test assignment and confirm the GitHub label.
Questions about this workflow
Can rejected work be highlighted differently?
Yes. Include separate labels for completed, approved, rejected, or other states in the instruction.
Will the workflow remove old labels?
The selected GitHub action adds labels; describe any follow-up convention clearly in the prompt.

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.
