Why this helps
A comment about a product or stock level can start a separate search through BoxHero.
- Pair a new comment with relevant BoxHero item information.
- Give your review a useful starting point without switching tools to search manually.
- Receive a run report in the channel you choose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and BoxHero once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how Notis should use the comment and document context to find and summarize relevant BoxHero items.
- 4Pick the Google Drive Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real document comment that mentions an identifiable item.
Questions about this workflow
Does this post a reply to the comment?
No. The available BoxHero actions retrieve information, and no Google Drive comment-reply action is included.
What if the comment does not identify an item?
Notis may be unable to find a specific item. Include instructions for reporting when the comment lacks an item name or barcode.

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Get Item

File Created

Get Item Attribute

File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Get Location
Tool to retrieve a specific location by ID. Use when you need detailed information about a particular warehouse location including its name, quantity, and notes.
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.
Get Member
Tool to retrieve a specific team member by ID. Use when you need to get details about a particular member.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Get Linked Team Info
