Keep Box folder metadata aligned with Confluence space properties
Make the folder record reflect the structure and status of its knowledge space.
Trigger
Space Properties Changed
Triggers when properties on a Confluence space are added, removed, or updated.
Action
Create metadata instance on folder
Applies an instance of a metadata template to a folder. 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. to display the metadata template in the box web app the enterprise needs to be configured to enable **cascading folder level metadata** for the user in the admin console.
Why this helps
Space-level properties change over time while the matching Box folder remains hard to classify and filter.
- Improve folder search and filtering
- Reduce repeated governance updates
- Keep space records consistent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Confluence and Box in Notis once.

- 3Describe which Box folder metadata template and values to apply after a space property change.
- 4Pick Space Properties Changed as the trigger and choose a report destination.
- 5Test with one property update and review the Box folder metadata.
