Why this helps
Creating duplicate working files manually adds friction before important work can start.
- Starts work from a clean duplicate
- Keeps copy requests visible
- Removes repetitive Box steps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Box once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for Box file copies.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the source file and destination folder from the new task, then create the copy.
- 4Choose Todoist New Task Created as the trigger and a report channel.
- 5Run one test task with a noncritical file.
Questions about this workflow
Can the destination be described in the task?
Yes. State the destination folder or location in the task and include that instruction in the automation prompt.
Will the original file be changed?
No. The Box copy action leaves the original unchanged.
