    When a new folder is created through Relay, have various options to name the file beyond a default name field, such as data created as an insert field variable.

  2. Users don't get email notifications for assigned tasks unless they're in the folder

    Users don't get email notifications for tasks in Relay unless they're collaborators in that folder. It doesn't always make sense for the users to be collaborators and this can add clicks to the Relay experience. Because of this, users that rely on Box Drive don't get notified that tasks have been assigned to them unless they log into the web app to check.

    Can users get email notifications when they've been assigned a task in a workflow regardless of whether they're collaborators in the folder?

  3. Would have appreciated more notice in regards to changes made depreciating the old API when File Request was released.

    We missed the notice where everything using the old app would break. We had used this app to embed many upload widgets in web pages, then they all broke simultaneously. We were left scrambling to fix every page that was broken. It’s just a lengthy process on our end to replace the functionally that was broken in our all live pages.”

  5. Allow for in-line document edits for Approve/Reject step

    We want the ability to actually edit the document (not just provide comments in preview pane) as part of an Approve/Reject step. Rather than having an edit step followed by Approve/Reject we would like to accomplish with one task - the key is they'd like to be able to provide edits inline and reject it back to a certain step in the workflow. On some occasions they would also make edits and approve

    We are not planning to have tasks exist in the in-line editing of content.

  6. Template Version History

    We would like to have a history of changes made to templates so if they modify one they can revert back if needed or have a record of who changed what/when - one use case is for compliance templates they need insight in to who created/when but also iterations of the template

  7. Send deleted Relay workflow to trash

    Right now, if the workflow is deleted we cannot get it back.
    If we can have a trash for Relay workflow as well, we can have it back if we accidentally delete it

  8. 【Box Relay】About email notifications for approval requests

    Relayにて承認タスクを割り当てた際にメッセージ欄に関連する資料のURLを記載して依頼を行っている
    現状リンクが有効になっておらず、関連資料を確認する手間が発生している
    必要な資料をすぐに確認できるよう通知メールから記載されているURLにアクセスできるように通知メールのURLリンクを有効化してほしい

    When assigning an approval task on Relay, the request is made by writing the URL of the related document in the message field.
    Currently the links are not valid and it takes time to check related materials.
    I would like you to enable the URL link in the notification email so that you can access the URL listed in the notification email so that you can quickly check the necessary materials.

  9. 【Box Relay】About approval rejection

    Relayにて承認依頼を拒否した場合、理由を記載できるようコメント欄を追加してほしい
    現状、理由を記載する箇所がないため別途コメントのメンションやメールにて連絡する必要があり二度手間となっているため

    If Relay rejects an approval request, please add a comment field to write the reason.
    Currently, there is no place to write the reason, so you have to contact us via a separate comment mention or email, which is a hassle.

  10. Add new Variables to Box Relay for Naming

    In Box Relay, I find the additional variables in the Naming of Folders and Files, such as the Trigger Date, to be very helpful. However, I would like to suggest including a new variable that would reference "Workflow Starter".

    Workflow Starter variable could potentially include:

    • User's email
    • User's Last and First name
    • User's Box ID

    By incorporating this variable, I would be able to effectively organize incoming files into folders named after the user who uploaded them.

    Thank you!

  11. Ability to specify wildcard folder in folder path for folder event trigger

    Here's the scenario. Box folder partitioning is recommended for scalability when the number of items (files or folders) within a parent (root) folder will exceed 15000. The Salesforce default integration creates a folder for each account under a 'Accounts ' Parent folder and typically number of customers will exceed 15000 for large organizations. With the Box Partitioning flow (available in the Managed package for SF), folder partitions can be based on using starting letter of the account (e.g. partition folder will be named AFolder). OR customized to have folders based on Year/Month of creation e.g. PartitionYYYYMM under the…

  12. Relay stacking

    I would like to be able to apply relays for folders that don't exist yet. If I create a relay for a folder to be created, I'd like to be able to stack that for the sub folders.

    For example each year I create quarterly folders and then I can automatically copy files into those folders. Right now I have to wait until I create the folders to build the relay to copy files.

  13. Relay Workflow Action - Send email copy of file

    In creation of new Relay Workflows, I would like to see an available type of action for "Email" added. Similarly to the Copy Action, a prompt for 'what file should be sent' then a prompt for 'where file should be sent' in which the workflow creator can include a single or multiple email addresses.

  14. Create Relay for User Onboarding/Offboarding

    I don't see Relay as a category option.....

    Note, my users aren't owners of their data. They are only editors.

    I have Azure AD user provisioning enabled to create and update users. As part of the user onboarding process, I would like for Relay to be able to see when:

    a user has been created > create a personal folder for that user in a business unit related directory > share folder with user

    a user has been disabled > move personal folder to an archived folder directory (related to their business unit)

  16. Sender info in Relay

    I would like you to add a setting for "who" went to the BoxRelay event.
    For example, when managing files for the same task in the same folder, if the person in charge (uploader) and the confirmer (notification recipient) are different for each file, it would be convenient to be able to set different notification recipients according to the uploader.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    (In Japanese)
    BoxRelayのイベントで「誰が」行ったかの設定を追加してほしいです。
    例えば同一フォルダで同じ業務のファイルを管理するケースで、ファイル毎に担当者(アップローダー)と確認者(通知先)が異なる場合、アップロードした人によって通知先を別々に設定できると便利になります。

    ご検討のほどよろしくお願いいたします。

  18. Reducing the time it takes to start the next process in Relay

    The current specification limits the possible use cases, as it could take more than an hour before the next process is started. Is it at least possible to set SLAs, such as triggering within 10 minutes?

  20. Improve Box Relay Trigger "A Scheduled Event"

    Recommend additional options for repetitive scheduled event triggers. Specifically, the option to repeat monthly on days of the month other than first or last, and to repeat every X months and/or weeks, would be extremely useful for automating assignment and tracking of repetitive tasks.
