Bring recovered Box folders back in Drive
A restored Box folder can prompt Notis to restore the related Drive folder too, so the project is accessible again.
Trigger
Trashed Folder State Changed
Triggers when a folder's trash state changes in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when its trash state changes (e.g., moved to trash or restored from trash).
Action
Untrash File
Tool to restore a file from the trash. use when you need to recover a deleted file. this action updates the file's metadata to set the 'trashed' property to false.
Why this helps
A folder restored in Box may still be hidden in Drive's trash, interrupting project work.
- Reduce recovery steps across storage apps
- Make project folders available sooner
- Avoid overlooking the Drive counterpart
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or describe the recovery routine to Notis.
- 3Explain how to identify the corresponding Drive folder and to act only on a Box restore.
- 4Pick the Box Trashed Folder State Changed trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real folder restoration and confirm the Drive folder is restored.
Questions about this workflow
Does this also restore files inside the folder?
The action restores the identified Drive folder. Specify any additional file recovery behavior separately.
What if the folder is only moved to trash in Box?
Tell Notis to act only when the Box event indicates a restore, so a trash event does not untrash the Drive folder.
