In Box Automate, I created a custom extract agent and selected a source folder. However, after reviewing the run history, I noticed that only the files in the top-level source folder are processed, while files in subfolders are ignored. I would like the ability to select a source folder and have the agent automatically include all subfolders within it or give you the option to include them.
We currently have a couple scenarios where we would like to run extraction on existing files and folders in a parent folder retroactively, not just new uploads.
Thank you, and please let me know if you need any additional details.

I would like the ability to apply workflows to subfolders.

This would be very helpful, please consider adding this to a future release.

This would be very helpful instead of replicating multiple workflows, especially if the relay ability could be turned on if desired and not always on!

I need to cascade a relay workflow to subfolders of a folder. It is very inconvenient and nearly impossible to add a workflow to every subfolder. With our folder structure, this would mean over 100+ new relays that we would need.
A simple functionality that would allow Relay to cascade down to subfolders would solve this issue. -

Box needs to add the cascade option to all Relay triggers to catch activity in underlying subfolders. The legacy automations feature that Box had did this by default. Now, the alternative is having to create several relay workflows that is too cumbersome to manage and doesn't scale.

This is a huge ask from one of our largest customers. We have already identified several use cases within their org which would benefit from this feature update.

cascading auto-start workflows. We have a specific use case defined that would greatly benefit from this capability - shield classification being applied automatically alerts the uploader of the file that the content needs to be moved. This would be a big win for USAA

--I want Box Relay to be able to kick workstreams off in sub-folders that don't exist yet. We have a general "Accounts" folder, and I want my metadata tag triggers to affect sub folders in that parent folder. However, the metadata trigger requires me to specify which specific folder to trigger the Relay within. I suggest one of two things:
1. Remove the need for folder specification. If I have a metadata trigger, do I really need to specify the folder in which the content lives? Relay should scan for that metadata tag, wherever it occurs.
2. Allow for Relay to scan in parent and sub-folders. While the specific account folders do not exist yet, I still do have the "Accounts" parent folder--I should be able to use this folder location in the metadata trigger so that Relay will scan that folder AND any sub-folder within.Either of these enhancements would greatly improve our account certification process. We regularly add new accounts, and I don't want to have to create new Relays every time we add one.
