Projects automatically receive standard Box metadata
Create a project in Linear. Notis automatically tags it with your standard metadata in Box.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
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
Project metadata is inconsistently applied or forgotten, creating organizational chaos.
- Every project starts with consistent metadata
- No setup decisions or manual steps needed
- Reduces cognitive load
- Projects are immediately discoverable and organized
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Box to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis 'When I create a project, apply standard metadata to the Box folder' or use the portal.
- 3Define your standard metadata: 'Add project owner, team, status, start date, completion date, budget.'
- 4Select 'Project Created' as your trigger.
- 5Test by creating a project and verify all metadata is applied automatically.
Questions about this workflow
How do I define standard metadata?
Create a metadata template in Box or describe it to Notis, then Notis applies it to every new project.
Can different project types use different metadata?
Yes - use different templates based on project type, team, or label. Tell Notis how to categorize.
Should I also create folder structure when a project is created?
You can do both - create folders and apply metadata in the same automation.
