Keep Your Team Database in Sync with Box
New team members get access to Box folders all the time, but tracking who has access to what is manual and error-prone. Let Notis sync collaborations straight into your Notion team hub.
Trigger
New Folder Collaboration Created
Triggers when a new collaboration is created on a specific folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new collaborations are detected.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Your Notion team database falls out of date as people get added to Box folders. You end up with stale records and can't quickly see who's supposed to have access.
- Team records stay automatically in sync with Box access
- Reduce manual data entry and human error
- Always know who has access to which folders
- Faster onboarding validation—check Notion instead of Box
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Notion to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: "When someone gets added to a collaboration on my Box folder, add them to my team database in Notion."
- 3Pick the trigger: New Folder Collaboration Created (select your Box folder).
- 4Notis will map the collaborator info to your Notion team properties automatically.
- 5Test by adding a new collaborator to your Box folder and verify they appear in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
What if the person already exists in my Notion team database?
Notis will check if they exist and update their record (e.g., marking them as having access) rather than creating a duplicate.
Can Notis capture the role they were given in Box?
Yes. Notis pulls their role (editor, viewer, etc.) and can store it in a Notion property for reference.
Do I need to manually remove people when they lose access?
Notis can also watch for collaboration removals, but you'll need to set up a separate automation for that if desired.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Box to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Box triggers
Notion actions
Collaboration Details Changed
Triggers when a collaboration's details change (e.g., role, status, expiration). This trigger monitors a specific collaboration and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as role, status, expiration date, access type, or acknowledgment status.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Comment Changed
Triggers when a comment's content or details change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box comment and detects when any meaningful field changes, such as message text edits, tagged message changes, or modification timestamp updates.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
File Metadata Changed
Triggers when a file's metadata or properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when changes are detected in key fields like name, description, size, modification time, parent folder, or status.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
New File Version Uploaded
Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
New Item Added to Folder
Triggers when a new item (file, folder, or web link) is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new items are detected.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Folder Properties Changed
Triggers when a folder's core properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when changes are detected in properties like name, description, modification time, parent folder, item status, or shared link settings.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
