Add Box collaborators from Discord

Handle access requests while the project context is visible.

Trigger

New Discord Message Trigger

Polls a specific Discord channel for new messages.

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

Access requests in chat wait for a separate manual permissions step.

  • Reduce permission delays
  • Apply approval rules consistently
  • Keep access work in context

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Discord and Box in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Discord access requests.
  • 3Tell Notis how to recognize approved requests and add the named person to the referenced Box file or folder.
  • 4Pick the Discord channel message trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one approved request.

Questions about this workflow

Can unapproved requests be left untouched?

Yes. Tell Notis to process only requests with your approval signal.

What if the target item is unclear?

Notis can report the request and ask for clarification.
