Maintain a Sharing Audit Trail in Notion
Files get shared with different permissions and expiry dates, but there's no easy audit trail. Notis logs every shared link change in Notion so you have transparency and compliance records.
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
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
You don't know when or how files were shared, or when shared links expire. Someone keeps access they shouldn't have, or a link stops working unexpectedly.
- Complete audit trail of who shared what and when
- Spot unauthorized or expired links quickly
- Reduce security risks from overshared files
- Compliance-ready transparency record in Notion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Notion to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: "When a shared link on my Box file changes, log the change in my Notion audit database."
- 3Pick the trigger: File Shared Link Changed (select your Box file or folder).
- 4Notis will include details like new permissions, expiration date, and timestamp.
- 5Update a shared link in Box and verify the change appears in your Notion audit log.
Questions about this workflow
What details are logged?
Notis captures the new access level, expiration date, password protection status, and timestamp. If a password is set, we don't log the password itself, only that it changed.
Can I set an alert if a file is shared with 'anyone'?
Yes. Tell Notis to flag high-risk sharing in Notion (e.g., 'public' access) with a red tag so you notice immediately.
Does this log share removals too?
Yes. When a shared link expires or is disabled, Notis logs that as well.

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.
