Keep Box file metadata aligned with Jira work
When an issue changes, Notis can add relevant context to the related Box file using an existing metadata template, making the file easier to organize.
Trigger
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
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
Document records drift from project work when key context is stored only in Jira.
- Keep useful project context with the file.
- Improve organization for future retrieval.
- Reduce repeated manual metadata updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Box once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which related Box file and existing metadata template to use, and what issue context to record.
- 4Pick Jira Updated Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue update and review the metadata on the Box file.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create the metadata template?
No. This action applies an instance of a metadata template, so the template must already exist and the fields must be accepted by it.
What if a Jira field is unavailable in the event?
Notis cannot supply missing data. Use only details the event provides or provide the needed value in your instruction.

Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Box. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Box actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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`.
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Add domain to list of allowed collaboration domains
Creates a new entry in the list of allowed domains to allow collaboration for.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
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.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
