Carry clear legal hold notices into Box

When a message clearly identifies an item and an applicable legal hold, ask Notis to assign the existing Box policy.

Trigger

New Gmail Message Received Trigger

Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.

Action

Assign legal hold policy

Assign a legal hold to a file, file version, folder, or user.

Why this helps

Legal hold instructions can sit in an email thread while the relevant Box item still needs the policy applied.

  • Reduce delay between notice and policy assignment
  • Keep the named item tied to the relevant hold instruction
  • Make legal hold follow-up easier to track

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Box once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, name the existing Box legal hold policy and ask Notis to assign it only when the notice and item are clear.
  • 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real notice and Box item.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a legal hold policy?

No. This action assigns a legal hold policy to an item. Specify an existing policy in Box.

What if the notice is unclear about the item?

Ask Notis to report incomplete or ambiguous notices for review, rather than assign a policy to a guessed item.
