Create a Box folder for every new Zendesk user

Give each new customer a ready-to-use home for onboarding and account documents.

Trigger

New User Created

Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.

Action

Create folder

Creates a new empty folder within the specified parent folder.

Why this helps

New customer materials end up scattered because account folders are created late or inconsistently.

  • Standardizes customer onboarding storage
  • Creates folders at the start of the relationship
  • Reduces setup work for account teams

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Box in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named New customer Box folder.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Box folder using the new Zendesk user's name and email, under the customer parent folder.
  • 4Pick New User Created as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real user.

Questions about this workflow

Can the folder use the user's organization name?

Yes, if Zendesk provides that organization context.

Can I use a fixed parent folder?
