Questions about this workflow
Does an assignment always mean the Salesforce task is complete?
No. Set the instruction to complete only when the assignment context confirms completion; otherwise, have Notis report it for review.
How does it find the Salesforce task?
The Salesforce task must be identifiable from the Box task context or details you provide.
