Carry retention decisions into Box
Record the retention decision in Notion and have Notis assign the corresponding Box policy to the right item.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
Assign retention policy
Assigns a retention policy to an item.
Why this helps
Retention follow-up can slip when the decision is recorded in a tracker but never applied to the stored document.
- Make a recorded retention decision actionable in Box.
- Reduce manual policy assignment follow-up.
- Keep records work connected to stored content.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Box to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to assign the appropriate existing Box retention policy to the related item when a Notion retention record is created.
- 4Choose the Notion New Page trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one eligible record and verify the intended Box item and policy.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a retention policy?
No. It assigns a policy to an item; the policy must already exist in Box.
Can the automation decide which item is covered?
Describe how the Notion record identifies the Box item and which existing policy applies.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Box. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Box actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add classification to file
Adds a classification to a file 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 `/files/:id//enterprise 12345/securityclassification-6vmvochwuwo`.
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`.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Add domain to list of allowed collaboration domains
Creates a new entry in the list of allowed domains to allow collaboration for.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Add or update user avatar
Adds or updates a user avatar.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Add shared link to file
Adds a shared link to a file.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Add shared link to folder
Adds a shared link to a folder.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Add shared link to web link
Adds a shared link to a web link.
