Carry Confluence page properties into Box metadata

Keep the file record current when structured page information changes.

Trigger

Page Content Properties Changed

Triggers when content properties on a Confluence page are added, removed, or 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

Structured properties are updated in Confluence but the related Box file remains out of date.

  • Keep file metadata current
  • Reduce duplicate updates
  • Improve search and organization

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Confluence and Box in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for page-property metadata.
  • 3Tell Notis which Box metadata template and values to apply when related page properties change.
  • 4Pick Page Content Properties Changed as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one property update and verify the Box metadata instance.
