Turn new Drive files into Box review tasks
When a new file appears in Drive, put the next review step on the relevant Box file instead of relying on memory.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Create task
Creates a single task on a file. this task is not assigned to any user and will need to be assigned separately.
Why this helps
New files can sit unnoticed while someone waits for a review or follow-up that was never assigned.
- Make new-file follow-up visible in Box.
- Capture a review step while the file is top of mind.
- Avoid relying on a separate reminder.
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 create a review task on the relevant Box file when a Drive file is created, and provide a Box ID or lookup rule.
- 4Choose the Google Drive File Created trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Drive file and its Box review target.
Questions about this workflow
Will the task be assigned to someone?
The Create task action creates an unassigned task. This workflow does not assign it to a user.
Can Notis locate the Box file from the Drive file automatically?
Only if your instruction supplies a reliable lookup rule or the needed Box file ID. The trigger does not establish a cross-app match by itself.

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
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Add shared link to folder
Adds a shared link to a folder.
Google Drive Changes
