  1. Dynamic result changes based on file/folder name

    I want to dynamically determine the file/folder name and change the result accordingly.
    Example: If the name of a newly uploaded file in folder X contains the string “AAA”, move it to folder “AAA”.

    【日本語】
    ファイル/フォルダ名を動的に判断して、それに応じて結果を変更したい。
    例)フォルダXに新規アップロードされたファイル名に文字列「AAA」が含まれているとき、フォルダ「AAA」に移動する

  3. version clean up

    Include a Box Relay workflow that cleans out versions older than N days -- useful for edge cases / teams that deal in high-volume document updates. For example: a spreadsheet is overwritten hourly and can have thousands of versions stored. Customer wants to systematically purge versions older than 10 days.

  4. Adding Tags in Box Relay

    Users should have the ability to apply tags based on dynamic workflow inputs through Box Relay.
    For example: When assignee marks a document "complete", apply that assignee's name as a tag on the document.

  5. Copy a folder with its items into another folder using Box Relay

    Copy a folder with its items into another folder using Box Relay

    Currently, you can select not only the "file that triggered the flow" but also the "folder that triggered the flow."
    However, this only copies the folder, not the items contained within it.
    To avoid complicating the workflow for a single folder, make sure the folder contents are also copied.

    Box Relayを使用して、アップロードしたフォルダを別のフォルダ内にアイテムと一緒にコピーしたい

    現在は「フローをトリガーしたファイル」だけでなく「フローをトリガーしたフォルダ」が選択可能です。
    ただし、あくまでもフォルダのみのコピーとなり、フォルダ内に格納されているアイテムは一緒にコピーされません。
    1つのフォルダに対してのワークフローの煩雑化を防ぐために、フォルダの中身も一緒にコピーされるようにしてください。

  6. Add a variable to assign a unique number when renaming a file with BoxRelay

    I would like you to add a variable that allows the signed file to be given a numbered name when multiple people sign the same file by setting up a Relay triggered by Box Sign.
    -in Japanese-
    Box SignをトリガーにRelayを組んで複数人が同じファイルに署名した場合に、署名したファイルに採番した名前を付けられるような変数を追加してほしい。

  7. Box Relay auto-populates metadata text field with destination folder name

    It would be useful to have a feature where when a file is uploaded, the destination folder name is automatically entered into the metadata text field.

    Specifically, when uploading experimental data from an experiment called "A" to Box, if we upload a file to a folder named "A", we would like a system where "A" is automatically entered into the "Experiment content" field of the metadata.

    With this function, when searching for metadata "A", only files related to experiment A will be extracted.
    It is expected that this will lead to improved business efficiency.

    For example, if we create a…

  9. Box Relay

    Box Relay needs to be able to create a work flow for a parent folder and have it work for all child folders. A user is setting up a simple notification (upload, download) and then sends a notification to a set of users with a message. The user currently has to replicate or create a new Relay for each child folder. Very, very silly to have to waist so much time.

  10. When specifying the folder where an event occurs in a Box Relay workflow, search by folder ID or folder name

    I want to search by folder ID when selecting a folder where events occur in the Box Relay workflow
    This is because there may be folders with the same name.
    When specifying folders in the user activity report, we can search by "folder name" or "folder ID".
    For improved usability, BoxRelay workflow should be made to match the same specifications as reports.

    ■Japanese
    BoxRelayのワークフローでイベントが発生するフォルダを選ぶときにフォルダIDで検索したいです。
    何故ならフォルダには同名のものがある可能性があるからです。
    ユーザーアクティビティレポートでフォルダを指定する際、「フォルダ名」または「フォルダID」で検索することができます。
    利便性向上のためBoxRelayのワークフローも同じ仕様にするべきです。

  11. Select multiple trigger events in the BoxRelay workflow

    I want to select multiple events as triggers in Box Relay workflows.
    There is a request to build a workflow triggered by events when files are stored in a specific folder.
    Events for when new files are stored in a folder include types such as "New Upload," "Move," and "Copy."
    With the current specifications, only one event can be selected per workflow. To create such workflows, we need to be able to select multiple trigger events.

    ■Japanese
    BoxRelayのワークフローでトリガーとなるイベントを複数選択したい。
    該当のフォルダに対してファイルが格納された場合、それらのイベントをトリガーにワークフローを構築したいというご要望があります。フォルダに新しいファイルが格納されるイベントは、「新規アップロード」、「移動」、「コピー」といった種類があります。現在の仕様では、1つのワークフローでイベントは1つしか選択できません。このようなワークフローを作成するために、トリガーのイベントを複数選択できる必要があります。

  12. Interval in metadata trigger

    Hi! Would it be possible to add the ability in Box Relay for the flow to be dependent on the interval between 2 values of numeric metadata?
    Now we only have options like "less than", "greater than", but it would be great if we could set the trigger dependance "from...to" like in the search filter

  13. Update Metadata Through Relays

    This is a function that is already available in the API, but it would be nice to be able to dynamically change metadata values on a template that has already been applied previously through Box Relays.

    For example, if I have a document with a metadata field and value of 'Status: Inactive' and I run the document through a flow that has it approved via a task, I would like to be able to change the metadata to read 'Status: Active' as an outcome of the flow.

  14. file select toggle

    Place the select toggle to left of file/folder names. So many times I've checked the wrong file/folder as I use an ultra wide screen for design, and constantly scanning back to left to make sure I selected the right line. Just makes sense! Please update the UI - or make it so we can move it ourselves!

  15. When setting up a BoxRelay workflow, I want to extract only users who have not approved and create approval tasks

    About BoxRelay workflow creation.
    When set up with the following conditions
    Action: Assign task
    Type of task to assign: Approval Task
    Task Details (Person in Charge): Check “This task will be considered complete if one of the persons in charge executes the task.

    We want to be able to extract only the users who did not approve the above settings and set them as the person in charge of approving the next approval task.

  16. Request Signature outcome should have Form Submitter variable

    When creating a workflow like the one in the following article, the Request Signature outcome cannot use the form submitter as a signer

    https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/38351786879123-Generating-Documents-with-Box-Doc-Gen-and-Box-Relay

    Some of our workflows start with a form, use Box Doc Gen to generate a document, which then needs to be signed by the original form submitter. While the Request Signature step can access form variables, it notably does not have access to the Form Submitter.

    It would be great if this was exposed as a variable so that the sign request could have the submitter as a signer.

    Our current workaround is to add a…

  19. Box Relay Send Notification Outcome Tied to a File

    The current "Send Notification" outcome is only capable of sending general notification according to the message set at Box Relay. Can we also tie it with a file similar to the "Assign Task" outcome? Thank you.
