Send notification after approved/rejected status change
To improve the real-time collaboration (Task activity) within each team and the team members. Automated notifications sent out to team members indicating the APPROVED/REJECTED status would help). Presently the Team leader and members use the COMMENT feature to keep the team informed. I want more automated notifications as changes occur.

relay folder event in several folders
When You create a Relay automation You only have the possibility to manager an event folder in one folder. If You need the same scenario in other folders, You have to duplicate the stream as many times You have needed folders.
The best way is to get the possibility to choose all folders You need the same event with the same scenario in one shot and not be polluted with x time the same one only because the event has to be trapped in another folder.49 votesDelivered for Manual Start feature to cascade to subfolders.

Ability to run relay workflows as a group
Relay workflows and approval tasks are started and sent as the user that created the relay. Ideally you want to get the box approval task that is sent to the users to approve to look like it is coming from the team that is requesting the approval.
Example: Invoice approval
When an invoice approval relay starts, pick dept. from metadata and start an approval process to the appropriate user as defined in the workflow. The user gets an email that says 'boxadmin' (in out case the user that created the relay) has sent you an approval task.It would be…

Add an option to File Request only for managed users
We would like to gather files from internal managed users avoiding spoofing. Currently, one way is to use collaboration as uploader permission but uploader can still see file name each other where multiple users are collaborated. We need to make users authenticate and do not want to let them see information of other's uploaded files.
4 votesthe file request can be setup to support only allowing managed users.

Keep workflows active even after users are deactivated
I was reading through FAQs for Box Relay and I see that if a user is deleted their workflows are deactivated....
With no way to transfer workflows from one user to another don't you see this as a HUGE problem with the product?
If we are expected to use this in production to manage enterprise documents, what are we supposed to do when someone who created the workflows is removed? This would be a huge impact to any org. Especially if someone on a team is the creator of all the workflows. This would require someone to recreate them, and…

Request a file link for Editors
Many of my customers are requesting for Editors to have the ability to generate request a file links. Owners and Co-Owners have very omniscient capabilities for folder configurations that Editors may not need (nor do the Owners want them to have) but because Editors do much of the editing and information creation/modification, it would be helpful if they could have the ability to request content.

File Request - Assign to Other Collaborator Permission Levels
Please allow Editors to send File Requests. Currently, only Owners and Co-Owners can send file requests. It would be extremely helpful if Editors could as well. In our organization, we have many with editor rights that could take advantage of this feature and would gain great efficiency . Making these users a Co-Owner will not work with our current permissions segregation.

Show progress bar for uploads when using file request widget

File Request link upload notification
We want a feature of email notification which send to the actual user who uploaded the file.
I understand that if "require users to provide email" option is enabled, users can confirm the uploader's email address on web app. I found that the email address was shown in “Updated” column.
However, users cannot confirm the actual uploader from the report, and email notifications will only be sent to users who enabled notification settings of "upload" in their folder settings or account settings.
Enabling the above feature makes it much easier to confirm if the user successfully uploaded the file.
8 votesUsers can now use the send notification outcome as part of a relay + file request workflow.

Either/Or Approvers
Currently Relay does not support "either/or" approvers.
We have use cases where we have multiple approvers in a process but only need a certain amount of approvers to continue the workflow. i.e. There are 3 approvers in a process but we only need 2 out of the 3 to approve.

manage metadata in Relay for both file and folder
In Relay when You need to manage metadata the only possibility is on file.
Why not on folder?
The most suitable way is to have the possibility to manage for BOTH.17 votesHello All,
Previously, Box customers were able to apply metadata templates and update metadata values automatically on files, as part of Relay outcome.
However, they were not able to do the same for folders, which limited their ability to leverage metadata for enhancing their search, information management and business process automation.
We have now released the ability to add metadata templates and update metadata on folders automatically in Relay outcomes. This enables customers to apply metadata at scale automatically or as part of automating their business process, and not have to do it a a separate step outside the workflow.
A new ‘Folder Action’ option is now available in the ‘Metadata’ outcome in the Relay builder.
For more information, see the "Metadata outcome options' section of this article - Understanding Triggers and Outcomes in RelayThanks,

Start a Relay workflow manually (Manual Start)
In the Relay Classic system I could start a workflow manually by opening Relay Classic, choosing my template and then starting the workflow. Now, workflows must be triggered by a folder or file action. I don't want this as we have Financial Advisors in the firm utilizing Box that are segregated from each other (each FA can't have access to the other FA's client files...). They'll all need to start the same workflow, but if I have one central folder that is the trigger folder for the workflow, they can easily access each other's client files that are dropped there.…

File Request Link should be modified by Admin or Co-admin
Currently, only file request link creator can delete the created link. But, it should be controlled by at least Admin/Co-admin as a security stand point of view.

Date-based recurring workflow triggers
Relay is great for workflows that occur because a human remembered to perform an action, but we run into issues if the human in question does not remember to start their part. For example, we have a workflow that starts with a staff member downloading a vendor invoice each month, auditing it, then uploading it to our accounting team. That starts a workflow where the accounting team reviews and approves for payment, then an auditor confirms the approval, and the payment is funded. Well, it all falls apart if the person who can download that invoice doesn't respond to a…
