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.

TriggerPolling

Accept a repository invitation

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Folder Properties Changed

TriggerPolling
