Put a watermark on files called out in sent notices

If you send a notice that a document needs a watermark, ask Notis to apply it to the matching Box file.

Trigger

Email Sent

Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.

Action

Apply watermark to file

Applies or update a watermark on a file.

Why this helps

A handling instruction can go out by email while the corresponding Box file remains unchanged.

  • Carry a clear handling instruction to the file
  • Reduce the chance of forgetting the watermark step
  • Keep the update close to the email that prompted it

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, specify the sent notices that call for a watermark and ask Notis to apply it to the clearly identified Box file.
  • 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real sent notice and Box file.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis decide the watermark text?

Specify the watermark settings you want Notis to use, consistent with your Box setup, in the instruction.

Will it watermark any file mentioned in email?

Tell Notis which notices require a watermark and ask it to skip messages without a clear handling instruction.
