Add "Updated/Changed" File Event as a Trigger

Add "Updated/Changed" File Event as a Trigger.

Triggering a Relay on a specific file when it has been updated directly or updated with an upload, maintaining file history.

The current workaround is to create a "New upload" Trigger, then the file needs to be Deleted and create/uploaded from new, thus requiring 2 steps and losing file history.

    This is a MUST HAVE, much needed update. Please Box, make this happen!

    The recommended work around never works. Box developers! Please come up with a solution.

    Can't believe that Box's developers have kept silence about this feature.

    We want to set up an "edit" of a file as a Relay trigger.
    We are eagerly awaiting the addition of the feature.
    ファイルの「編集」をRelayトリガーとして設定できるようにしてください。
    この機能の実装を心待ちにしています。

    kind of stunned this isn't an option.

    This seems so basic, especially for a service that allows for online editing of files. There are many more actions performed besides downloads/uploads, furthermore uploading occurs LESS frequently with online editing, so the option to start a relay when a file is modified is much needed

    I hope "file update" contains "file edit".

    I'm surprised this isn't a feature. FileNet has it.

    Please add the option to trigger a relay with a "new version or updated" option for a file event. In my line of work, a file will start in a folder blank and I would like the automation to automatically move once data has been added/updated.

    I would like to see BoxRelay add an event trigger for when there is an update in a folder.
    I want to start a workflow when a file in a folder is updated.

    Currently there is no "file update" in the Box Relay trigger.
    If you upload a file with the same name in Box, it will be saved as a new version of the existing file instead of a new upload.
    There is currently no trigger to trigger in such a case, so it would be nice to have a "update file" trigger.

    現在BoxRelayのトリガーには、「ファイルの更新」がありません。
    Boxにて同じ名前のファイルをアップロードすると、新規アップロードではなく既存のファイルの新しいバージョンとして保存されます。
    そのような場合に発動するトリガーが現在ないので、「ファイルの更新」トリガーがあれば嬉しいです。
