Notify Linear Team of Box Sharing Changes
When someone changes a file's sharing settings in Box, Notis posts a comment to the related Linear issue so your team knows access has changed.
Trigger
File Shared Link Changed
Triggers when a file's shared link settings change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file's shared link and fires when changes are detected in the shared link configuration, such as access level, permissions, password protection, expiration date, or vanity URL.
Action
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
Why this helps
Files get shared or unshared in Box without your Linear team knowing, causing confusion about who should have access.
- Whole team is informed when file permissions change
- No accidental lockouts because people don't know sharing changed
- Audit trail of permission changes lives in Linear for compliance
- Reduces communication delays about who has access
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Box sharing changes post to Linear.'
- 3Set the prompt to 'When a file's sharing settings change in Box, post a comment to the related Linear issue saying [file name] access changed to [new permission level].'
- 4Select 'File Shared Link Changed' as your trigger.
- 5Pick your team channel.
- 6Test by changing a Box file's sharing settings and confirming the comment posts.
Questions about this workflow
Will it post even if the file isn't linked to a Linear issue?
You can set it to skip, create a new issue, or post to a general channel. Choose what works best in your prompt.
Does it show who made the change?
Yes. Notis includes the person who changed the settings in the comment.
Can I get alerted if sharing becomes too open?
Yes. Tell Notis 'Alert me if a file becomes accessible to anyone outside [domain]' and it will flag it.
