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…

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。3 votes -

Change in handling of file uploads in Box Drive
I would like Box Drive to treat an upload as an upload, not a copy, even if a file with the same hash value exists in the range to which I have access.

Change the method of designating approvers
I would like to see an Outcome created that allows the specified user to specify the approver of the approval flow before approval, instead of specifying the approver at the start of the flow.

Bulk Approval Feature in Box Relay (Batch Checkbox Approval)
Feature request:
Provide a “Batch Approval” feature in Box Relay.
Ideally, users could select multiple approval items (via checkboxes) and approve them all at once.
This would drastically improve efficiency for teams handling high volumes of approval tasks.Why it matters:
For enterprises dealing with hundreds of daily requests, approving each one individually is impractical.
Competing workflow/approval systems (e.g., Salesforce Approvals, SAP Workflow, Oracle Approvals Management) already provide batch approval capabilities.
Without such a feature, Relay may be less suitable for large-scale enterprise approval use cases.Expected outcome:
Significant reduction in time required for managers to process large numbers of…1 vote -
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.

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。2 votes -
Use relay to move files to an archived folder based on a metadata date condition
We have a relay workflow that accepts a file via "File Request" (Trigger) and has a metadata values attached, we want the file to be moved to another folder (Archive) based on the expiration date on the incoming metadata template.
In a subsequent trigger we are unable to make the expiration date condition of the metadata "if older than a year" only a set date picked from the calendar. It would be great to have a custom condition based on the values accepted on the metadata templates.1 vote -
Create Folder From Relay Folder Navigation View
In order to create a Relay Workflow the folder structure has to already be in place. This is not always the case. It would be helpful to be able to create a folder from the Relay Folder Navigation view.
For example: if I am creating a File Request flow, I navigate to Relay, start a new workflow, select my File Request trigger, and I want my first outcome to move the file to a folder.
If that folder hasn't been created I need to cancel or navigate away from Relay back to my All Files, create the folder, go back…

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.

Using variables in Box Relay messages
When sending messages using the Box Relay feature, it would be more convenient if variables could be used within the message.
For example, if you use the name of the file that triggered the flow as a variable and send a message saying "Approval of the submitted file named <variable> has been completed," it will be clear which workflow has completed.11 votes -

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.

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!

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
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…

Relay Trigger "copy out" &"move out"
In Box Relay, the triggers for “copy” and “move” are recognized as “when a file is copied to this folder” and “when a file is moved to this folder.” Can we create triggers such as “when a file leaves this folder” or "when a file in this folder is copied somewhere else"? In other words, I would like there to be a function that allows us to detect when a file has been copied out to an external folder. I hope this feature will be considered.

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 filter1 vote
