Allow Folder Actions on "the folder of the file that triggered the flow"
When trying to build dynamic workflows, you currently can work with and get a handle on either:
- Folders can triggered the flow
- Files that triggered the flow
- Folders/Files created/copied from previous stages
There are workflows, however, where you have a trigger on the file(s) but you want to move that entire folder to progress the flow.
A "the folder of the file that triggered the flow" handle would be helpful in this scenario to allow you start a workflow, either through a file action or a manual start...assign tasks to that file and then be able to get a handle…

Automatic email response for file request submitter
Would like a feature whereby the person submitting files using Box File Request receives an automatic confirmation email with a customizable message. For example, after the submitter uploads files using the File Request web widget, that person gets a email to the effect of, "Thank you for contacting us. A team member will review your submittal and follow up within 24 hours." The person would be required to provide an email address but not required to have a Box account. Many of our external customers send us application materials using File Request, and then they contact us separately wanting to…

Add ability to set time for reminder notifications by each user or admin.
Currently assignee will receive reminder notification 24 hours before the due date of the assigned task. Users are receiving these reminders at mid of night and they want to receive them in daytime.
Box Relay can set the default due ("time to complete" option) like how many days and hours.
This default due is set automatically based on when the task is started. So for many cases, the reminder will be sent out because the task is started in daytime.But non-Relay task (General and Approval task) can set only due date from calendar picker, like "June 16". The due…

Copy file from relay should version the target, not create a new file
We have a release workflow, where documents are being copied to a shared environment after they have been approved. This works well for the first version of the document.
However, if we change the document and send it through the approval process again, Box creates a new document at the target area. Box does NOT create a new version of the existing document.
Since this process is really key to creating "Quality Managed" documentation, Box relay should offer to version an existing document. Defaulting to creating a new document, makes Box unusable for these kind of approvals.

Add ability to undo an Approval/Rejection
This morning I accidentally clicked on the Approve button rather than the Reject button, allowing an incomplete document to be submitted for approval
It would be nice if an approval or rejection could be undone. Perhaps within a short time frame.

Add “Specify when started” option in “Send a notification” outcome
There is an option “Specify when started” in “Assign a task” outcome. It would be convenient to have a similar option in “Send a notification” outcome, since the recipients might vary depending on who started the workflow.

I have several reviewers that need independent approve/reject in parallel (simultaneously) rather than serially.
We have 5 reviewers for a task, each having different elements they are responsible for reviewing. Currently we can require they each approve independently, however if one rejects the task is ended for all, regardless of whether they've reviewed it or not, approved it or not.
We need 100% independent approve/reject

Move or copy to multiple folders
I would like to be able to Move or Copy a group of files to multiple folders in one click. It seemed when you added the radio buttons, that might be possible to select multiple destinations. Alas no.

Change File Request to accept emails that begin with a number
File request currently flags an email that begins with a number as an invalid email and won't let the user continue with that email. Please update to accept emails that begin with a number.

Entering multiple accounts should auto-populate under in Assignee(s) field.
For the Relay window, users should enter emails one at a time so that the assignee options populate. For collaboration window, if entering all emails at once works, pasted accounts will be auto-populated. So it should also work in the Relay window.

When are you going to bring back file aliases? Bookmarks are not the same and don't cut it.
We need to be able to create symlink/aliases for files in multiple locations so that we aren't forced to upload a file multiple times, in several folders.
We use Box to allow our clients to download files, and we sort those in a way that makes sense for them. We also use Box to upload all of our files in a way that makes sense for our employees to find assets. Without symlinks/aliases this is tedious to do and ridiculous to manage.

Copy file in workflow should create a new version if file already exists
I am creating Quality Management workflows. At the end of the workflow the released document is copied to a new area, that is shared with the consumers of the QM-documentation.
Works fine the first time we run the workflows. If we update the document and run the workflow again, the target file is not versioned: we get a new file with the same name and a timestamp added to it.
I appreciate this behaviour in some situations and understand why you have chosen this solution. However we would like to have the option in the workflow to "version the file,…

Ability to utilize file request as an outcome within Relay
Having the ability to upload a file or utilize file request as a step within Relay. Currently you can only kick off a workflow with either action. There are several document review use cases where a task is completed such as a lease review and a new task is assigned to a different user to upload the lease renewal document to be reviewed prior to being sent out to the client.

I would like to copy the triggers and the outcomes within a flow
We can now copy a workflow but when I have a long flow where I am using the same triggers and outcomes, I would like to copy them to make it easier to make the flow.
