Make the details people search for travel with the project as it changes.
Trigger
Specific Coda Page Updated Trigger
Triggers when a specific page within a Coda document is updated.
Action
Create metadata instance on file
Applies an instance of a metadata template to a file. in most cases only values that are present in the metadata template will be accepted, except for the `global.properties` template which accepts any key-value pair.
Why this helps
Box files keep outdated status or project context after decisions change in Coda.
- Improves file searchability
- Reduces stale metadata
- Keeps project context attached to files
