Track Pending Box Invites with Notion Tasks
You send Box collaboration invites and hope people accept, but forgotten pending invites slip through the cracks. Notis creates Notion tasks so you can follow up systematically.
Trigger
New Pending Collaboration Invite
Triggers when a new pending collaboration invite is created. This trigger monitors the user's pending collaborations and fires when new pending collaboration invites are detected.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Pending Box invites sit unanswered and you have no way to track them. Weeks later, someone mentions they never got the link.
- Never let a pending invite be forgotten
- Clear list of who still needs to accept
- Reduce onboarding delays and re-sends
- One task to follow up instead of digging through Box
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Notion to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: "When I send a collaboration invite in Box, create a follow-up task in my Notion to-do list."
- 3Pick the trigger: New Pending Collaboration Invite.
- 4Notis will include the invitee name and date in the task so you know who to follow up with.
- 5Send a Box collaboration invite and verify a task appears in Notion within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
What if the person accepts the invite?
You can close the task manually in Notion, or set up a second automation to watch for invite acceptances and auto-archive the task.
Can Notis remind me after X days if they haven't accepted?
Yes. Tell Notis to add a follow-up reminder in Notion for a specific date (e.g., 3 days out) so you know when to ping them.
Does this log all invites or just the ones I send?
Notis watches your pending invitations, so it captures the ones you personally send.

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.
