Bring a reviewer into the Box handoff
A new submission that needs another set of eyes can prompt a Box collaboration on the relevant document.
Trigger
New Canvas Assignment Submission
Polls Canvas for new submissions to a specific assignment.
Action
Create collaboration
Adds a collaboration for a single user or a single group to a file or folder. collaborations can be created using email address, user ids, or a group ids. if a collaboration is being created with a group, access to this endpoint is dependent on the group's ability to be invited. if collaboration is in `pending` status, the following fields are redacted: - `login` and `name` are hidden if a collaboration was created using `user id`, - `name` is hidden if a collaboration was created using `login`.
Why this helps
Review handoffs can stall when someone must manually find the file and invite a collaborator.
- Reduce the steps in a reviewer handoff.
- Put collaboration on the relevant Box item.
- Make review ownership easier to coordinate.
