Give every new project email a home in Box
When a new message kicks off a project, ask Notis to create a matching folder in Box so the work has a place to land.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create folder
Creates a new empty folder within the specified parent folder.
Why this helps
Project requests arrive in the inbox, then someone has to remember to create a folder and share where to find it.
- Give new work a dedicated place in Box
- Reduce the steps between receiving a request and organizing its files
- Keep folder creation tied to the incoming message
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, ask Notis to create a Box folder for qualifying project requests using a clear name from the email.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real project email.
Questions about this workflow
Does every email create a folder?
Describe which messages count as project requests in your instruction. Notis uses that instruction to decide whether to create a folder.
Can Notis decide the folder name?
Yes. Ask Notis to use a concise project name from the message. Review the first run to make sure the names suit your filing habits.
