Get New Box Folder Items Delivered Directly to Telegram
Important documents sit in Box folders. With one automation, they land in Telegram as attachments, ready to review without switching apps.
Trigger
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.
Action
Send Document
Send general files (documents) to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Files appear in a shared Box folder but team members forget to check it. Critical documents go unread until someone realizes they've been there for days.
- Documents reach your team's primary communication channel instantly
- Eliminate the 'did you see the file in Box?' question
- Preserve context by attaching files to Telegram
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Telegram to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new item is added to this Box folder, forward it to Telegram as an attachment or link.'
- 3Pick 'integration event' and select the Box folder to monitor.
- 4Choose Telegram as the destination.
- 5Test by uploading a document to the Box folder and verify it appears in Telegram.
Questions about this workflow
Will this forward every file type?
Yes, by default. If you want to filter (e.g., only PDFs), let Notis know during setup and it can refine the automation.
What if the folder has large files?
Notis will attempt to forward the file or send a direct link. For very large files, you'll get the link instead of an attachment.
Can I filter by folder depth?
The automation monitors one specific folder. Subfolders aren't included unless you set up separate automations for them.
