Trigger

File Shared Link Changed

Triggers when a file's shared link settings change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file'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

Send message

Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.

Why this helps

Sharing settings may change without reaching the people responsible for access oversight.

  • Make changes to file access more visible.
  • Prompt a timely review of link settings.
  • Include available permission or expiration details.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to message your chosen recipient when the watched file's shared link settings change, including available settings details.
  • 4Pick the Box File Shared Link Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real link settings change.

Questions about this workflow

Does the message include the new link?

The trigger detects shared link configuration changes. Ask Notis to include the link or changed settings only when those details are provided by the event.

Can this track a folder link too?

Use the separate Folder Shared Link Changed event for a watched Box folder.
