Keep Box classification current after Drive changes
A meaningful update in Drive can prompt a classification check on the related Box file, with the label and file match defined in your instruction.
Trigger
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Action
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`.
Why this helps
When document handling changes, the corresponding Box file may keep an outdated classification unless someone remembers to update it.
- Prompt a Box classification update when Drive content or metadata changes.
- Keep the handling label close to the Box file.
- Reduce manual checks after document revisions.
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 which classification label to apply and how to identify the corresponding Box file after a Drive update.
- 4Choose the Google Drive File Updated trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real update and confirm the Box file and classification label.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis decide which classification is appropriate?
This workflow applies the label you specify. Define the label and any rule for choosing it in your instruction.
Does a Drive update provide the Box file ID?
Not necessarily. Supply a Box file ID or a reliable matching rule in your instruction.

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
