Share Box task decisions without manual follow-up
When an assignment reaches a decision, send the people waiting on it a concise update with the available task context.
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
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
You have to keep checking task status and remember who is waiting for the decision.
- Share a task state change with chosen stakeholders
- Include available task details in the update
- Reduce status-checking and follow-up messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to email your chosen stakeholders when the assignment state changes, including the new state and available context.
- 4Pick the Box Task Assignment State Changed trigger for the task and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real assignment state change and verify the message.
Questions about this workflow
Can the email distinguish approval from rejection?
The trigger detects resolution state changes. Ask Notis to state the new value when it is present in the event.
Does this track the whole task?
It monitors a task assignment. Use the Box Task State Changed trigger if you want updates about the task itself.
