Move approved reusable assets into their next Box home
Once a team approves an asset for reuse, Notis can copy its Box file to the destination described in your prompt.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Copy file
Creates a copy of a file.
Why this helps
Approved assets are easy to forget when teams must manually locate and copy them for each new use.
- Reduce manual copying after an asset is approved.
- Keep reusable materials available in the expected destination.
- Make a clear Slack approval lead to a concrete next step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Box to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which Slack approvals should trigger a Box file copy.
- 3Choose the channel message received trigger and include the source file and destination guidance in the prompt.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with an actual approved asset.
Questions about this workflow
Does this copy every approved file?
The prompt should limit the action to files explicitly approved for reuse and identifiable in Box.
Will the original Box file change?
No. Copy file creates a separate copy; it does not change the source.
