Make production release sign-off a clear step
A production deployment can trigger the approval request instead of relying on memory.
Trigger
New Deployment Created
Triggers when a new deployment is created in a GitHub repository. Fires an event for each newly created deployment detected in the configured repository. Deployments can optionally be filtered by target environment. The payload includes the deployment ID, commit SHA, ref, task, environment, creator details, and timestamps.
Action
Create box sign request
Creates a signature request. this involves preparing a document for signing and sending the signature request to signers.
Why this helps
Founder-led releases often depend on informal approval messages that are easy to miss during a busy launch.
- Creates a visible approval trail
- Reduces launch-day follow-up
- Makes release readiness easier to verify
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Box to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation: “When a production GitHub deployment is created, start a Box signature request for the release approval document.”
- 3Select New Deployment Created as the trigger and specify a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a staging or rehearsal deployment first.
Questions about this workflow
Can this be limited to production?

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Box. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Box actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Add classification to file
Adds a classification to a file by specifying the label of the classification to add. this api can also be called by including the enterprise id in the url explicitly, for example `/files/:id//enterprise 12345/securityclassification-6vmvochwuwo`.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Add classification to folder
Adds a classification to a folder by specifying the label of the classification to add. this api can also be called by including the enterprise id in the url explicitly, for example `/folders/:id/enterprise 12345/securityclassification-6vmvochwuwo`.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Add domain to list of allowed collaboration domains
Creates a new entry in the list of allowed domains to allow collaboration for.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Add initial classifications
When an enterprise does not yet have any classifications, this api call initializes the classification template with an initial set of classifications. if an enterprise already has a classification, the template will already exist and instead an api call should be made to add additional classifications.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Add or update user avatar
Adds or updates a user avatar.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Add shared link to file
Adds a shared link to a file.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Add shared link to folder
Adds a shared link to a folder.
