Create a Box working copy from changed query results

When a saved query surfaces a changed record, have Notis copy its referenced Box file to the working location you describe.

Trigger

Table Query Result Changed

Triggers when the result set of a saved table query changes in Google Sheets. Detects rows added, removed, or updated in the query output. This trigger monitors the result of a SQL query against a Google Sheets table and fires when changes are detected.

Action

Copy file

Creates a copy of a file.

Why this helps

A changed query result can require a working document, but making the copy and placing it correctly takes a separate follow-up.

  • Respond to added, removed, or updated query results with a document copy.
  • Start work from a file tied to the record that changed.
  • Reduce the steps between detecting a change and preparing a working version.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Sheets and Box once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to copy the Box file identified by a changed result to the working destination you specify.
  • 4Pick Table Query Result Changed as the trigger and select the saved query in its trigger settings.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real changed result that references a Box file.

Questions about this workflow

What changes does the query trigger detect?

It detects rows added, removed, or updated in the saved query output.

Does the trigger locate the Box file automatically?

No. A changed result or your instruction must identify the Box file to copy and the intended destination.
