Add a Box collaborator from a WhatsApp request
Handle access requests while the right person and resource are clear.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Create collaboration
Adds a collaboration for a single user or a single group to a file or folder. collaborations can be created using email address, user ids, or a group ids. if a collaboration is being created with a group, access to this endpoint is dependent on the group's ability to be invited. if collaboration is in `pending` status, the following fields are redacted: - `login` and `name` are hidden if a collaboration was created using `user id`, - `name` is hidden if a collaboration was created using `login`.
Why this helps
Access invitations are easy to delay when requests arrive in fast moving chats.
- Speeds up access decisions
- Keeps invitations tied to context
- Reduces forgotten permission requests
