Notify Team of Box Folder Sharing Changes
When a folder's sharing settings change in Box, Notis posts an update to the related Linear project so your team knows who has access.
Trigger
Folder Shared Link Changed
Triggers when a folder's shared link settings change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder'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
Create a comment

Why this helps
Folder access changes silently in Box and your team doesn't realize they've lost permissions or new people have gained access.
- Team is notified instantly when folder access changes
- No surprises about who has permission to what
- Audit trail of access changes in Linear
- Reduced friction from unexpected lockouts

Questions about this workflow
Can I get alerted only for certain access levels?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Alert me if a folder becomes accessible to anyone' or 'Only notify on restricted access changes.'
Does it show who made the change?
Yes. The notification includes who changed the settings.
Can I prevent certain folders from being shared?
Tell Notis to alert you and you can take action. You can also set up rules to auto-restrict sensitive folders.
