Keep account context current in Box
When account details change in Salesforce, Notis can update the metadata on the account's existing Box folder.
Trigger
Account Created or Updated
Triggers when an Account is created or updated in Salesforce. Uses LastModifiedDate high-watermark to capture both creations and updates.
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
Account documents can retain stale context when folder details are updated only by hand.
- Apply current account details to a Box folder after Salesforce changes.
- Keep folder context aligned with account updates.
- Reduce routine manual updates to folder metadata.
