Alert Linear Team of New Box Folder Collaborations
When someone is added as a collaborator on a Box folder, Notis posts the update to the related Linear project so your team stays informed.
Trigger
New Folder Collaboration Created
Triggers when a new collaboration is created on a specific folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new collaborations are detected.
Action
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Why this helps
New collaborators are added to Box folders but your Linear team doesn't know they've been onboarded, causing confusion about who's in the loop.
- Team knows immediately when someone new is added to a folder
- No confusion about who's included in projects
- Clear record of onboarding in Linear
- Easier coordination with new team members
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Box folder collaboration alerts.'
- 3Set the prompt to 'When a new collaboration is created on a Box folder, post a comment to the related Linear project saying [person] was added with [role] access.'
- 4Use 'New Folder Collaboration Created' as your trigger.
- 5Pick your notification channel.
- 6Test by adding someone as a collaborator on a Box folder and confirming the alert posts.
Questions about this workflow
Does it include the role/permission level?
Yes. Notis posts what access level the new collaborator has.
Can I assign the onboarding task to someone in Linear?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Assign a Linear issue to [manager] for any new collaborations' and it will create tracking.
What if the person is internal vs. external?
Tell Notis to flag external collaborators differently: 'Highlight external collaborators in the alert.'
