Add customer metadata to Box files
Keep account context attached to the files your team uses for onboarding and support.
Trigger
New User Created
Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.
Action
Create metadata instance on file
Applies an instance of a metadata template to a file. 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.
Why this helps
Customer files lack consistent metadata, making search and handoffs harder.
- Improves file searchability
- Standardizes customer context
- Reduces repetitive tagging
