Create a fresh Box brief when meeting details change

When an event changes, have Notis copy the Box brief you specify so revised preparation can have its own working version.

Trigger

Event Updated

Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.

Action

Copy file

Creates a copy of a file.

Why this helps

Meeting changes can make an existing brief stale, and remembering to create a fresh working copy takes attention.

  • Create a separate Box copy when an existing calendar event changes.
  • Use the changed fields to identify updates relevant to meeting preparation.
  • Keep revised preparation distinct from the existing brief.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar and Box once in the Notis portal.
  • 2In Automations, choose New Automation and name the workflow.
  • 3Tell Notis which event changes should prompt a copy of the specified Box brief and where the copy belongs.
  • 4Choose Event Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real event update and confirm the copy is created in the intended Box folder.
