Apply Box metadata to new Drive folders
Give every new workspace the context needed for reliable retrieval.
Trigger
New Folder Created in Root
Triggers when a new folder is created in the root folder of Google Drive. This trigger monitors Google Drive and fires when new folders are detected in the root directory.
Action
Create metadata instance on folder
Applies an instance of a metadata template to a folder. 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. to display the metadata template in the box web app the enterprise needs to be configured to enable **cascading folder level metadata** for the user in the admin console.
Why this helps
New folders start without ownership, status, or classification context.
- Improve folder discoverability
- Standardize workspace context
- Reduce manual labeling
