Label Box files when OneDrive versions change

Version changes carry useful context into Box.

Trigger

New Version Created

Trigger that fires when a new version of a specified OneDrive file is created.

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

Reviewers miss version milestones when updates are buried in storage history.

  • Makes milestones searchable
  • Improves review context
  • Reduces status chasing

  • 1Connect OneDrive and Box once in Notis.
  • 2Create the automation for version milestones.
  • 3Describe the metadata context to apply to the related Box file.
  • 4Pick the New Version Created trigger and a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real version event.
