Track Pending Box Invites as Linear Issues
When you send a collaboration invite in Box, Notis creates a Linear issue to track whether they accept. Never lose track of pending access.
Trigger
New Pending Collaboration Invite
Triggers when a new pending collaboration invite is created. This trigger monitors the user's pending collaborations and fires when new pending collaboration invites are detected.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Pending collaboration invites sit in Box and you forget to follow up, leaving team members without access.
- Pending invites are visible in Linear so you remember to follow up
- Automatic tracking of who hasn't accepted access yet
- Clear ownership of onboarding tasks
- Reduces forgotten invites that delay new team members
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Pending Box invites create Linear issues.'
- 3Set the prompt to 'When a new pending collaboration invite is created in Box, create a Linear issue to track it with the invited person's email and due date for acceptance.'
- 4Use 'New Pending Collaboration Invite' as your trigger.
- 5Select your notification channel.
- 6Test by sending a Box collaboration invite and confirming an issue appears in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Can I auto-assign the issue to whoever sent the invite?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Assign the issue to whoever sent the invite' and it will track responsibility.
Does it close the issue when the invite is accepted?
You can set that up with a second automation. Tell Notis 'When an invite is accepted, mark the Linear issue as Done.'
What if the invitee's email isn't enough info?
Include more details: 'Also include their intended role and the project they need access to.'
