Turn Discord requests into Box comments
Put every request beside the file it affects.
Trigger
New Discord Message Trigger
Polls a specific Discord channel for new messages.
Action
Create comment
Adds a comment by the user to a specific file, or as a reply to an other comment.
Why this helps
Requests in chat lose context when people open the document later.
- Keep requests attached to files
- Give collaborators clear context
- Reduce missed follow-up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Box in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Discord requests to Box comments.
- 3Tell Notis to detect requests, identify the referenced Box file, and add a concise comment with the requester and next step.
- 4Pick the Discord message trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real request.
Questions about this workflow
What if a message names several files?
Tell Notis how to select the primary file or ask it to report ambiguous cases.
Can the comment include the original wording?
Yes. Include that instruction in the automation prompt.
