Add Box metadata for every new slide deliverable

Make slide related files easier to filter, find, and hand off.

Trigger

New Slide Added

Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.

Action

Create metadata instance on file

Applies an instance of a metadata template to a file. in most cases only values that are present in the metadata template will be accepted, except for the `global.properties` template which accepts any key-value pair.

Why this helps

Important files lack consistent context, so searching and sorting takes extra effort.

  • Improves file searchability
  • Creates consistent context
  • Supports cleaner handoffs

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Slides and Box once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation named Slide Deliverable Metadata.
  • 3Tell Notis to apply the relevant Box metadata template and values to the file tied to each new slide.
  • 4Pick the Google Slides New Slide Added trigger and choose where reports go.
  • 5Test it with one deliverable file.
