Keep a history of Box task changes

Log task updates where you can scan status, due date, and other returned details without reopening each file.

Trigger

Task State Changed

Triggers when a task's status or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box task and fires when changes are detected in key fields like status, due date, message, or completion state.

Action

Batch update spreadsheet

Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.

Why this helps

Task changes are easy to miss when work is managed across many Box files.

  • Centralize task change records.
  • Make due date updates easier to notice.
  • Review work status with less context switching.

  • 1Connect Box and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis to record changed task details in a Google Sheets task history.
  • 4Pick the Box Task State Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real task update and confirm the spreadsheet entry.
