Make sharing changes visible to technical teams
A link permission change can affect demos, customers, or security. Notis brings that signal into GitHub.
Trigger
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.
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
Sharing changes are handled in Box but relevant technical follow-up remains hidden from the team.
- Surfaces access-sensitive changes
- Supports lightweight security review
- Reduces manual audits
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation with: “When this Box shared link changes access, password, expiration, or URL settings, label the related GitHub work for the appropriate review.”
- 3Select File Shared Link Changed and choose where run reports should appear.
- 4Change one test link setting and confirm the GitHub label.
Questions about this workflow
Can this distinguish access from expiration changes?
Yes. Include separate label rules for the types of shared-link changes you care about.
Does it expose the shared link?
Only include the link in GitHub if your instruction explicitly requests it and the repository is appropriate.

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
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
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.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
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.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
