Keep Drive feedback visible in Box
New feedback in a Google document can be easy to miss when review happens in Box. Send the comment to the matching Box file automatically.
Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Action
Create comment
Adds a comment by the user to a specific file, or as a reply to an other comment.
Why this helps
Feedback gets split across Drive and Box, leaving reviewers to check both places and risk missing a requested change.
- Keep review context with the Box file your team uses.
- Reduce manual copying between document systems.
- Make new feedback easier to find during review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Box once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize each new Drive comment and add it as a comment on the matching Box file, using a Box file ID or lookup rule you provide.
- 4Choose the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment and its Box counterpart.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis find the matching Box file?
Provide a reliable lookup rule or Box file ID in your instruction. The listed trigger does not guarantee a Box counterpart can be identified automatically.
Does this copy the full document?
No. This workflow adds a comment to a Box file; it does not transfer document contents.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Box. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
Box actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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`.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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`.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Add domain to list of allowed collaboration domains
Creates a new entry in the list of allowed domains to allow collaboration for.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Add or update user avatar
Adds or updates a user avatar.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Add shared link to file

File Updated

Add shared link to folder
