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.12 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 -
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.

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 -

Time added to file names moved by Box Relay
When moving a Box Sign file in Relay, if the same file is in the folder, the file will be saved with an additional date and time.
The time added is PST, so if you use it in a country with a time difference from PST, it will be a different time, so it is confusing because it is not clear when it was created.
To avoid confusion, change this time to the time zone of the Relay owner.2 votes -

Regarding Box Relay, we would like the ability to assign different roles to the same user, similar to how it works in Box Sign.

Box Relay Send Notification Outcome Tied to a File
The current "Send Notification" outcome is only capable of sending general notification according to the message set at Box Relay. Can we also tie it with a file similar to the "Assign Task" outcome? Thank you.

Daily reminders on uncompleted tasks for Approvers in box relay
Would like to have a function to notify the Approver for uncompleted tasks in box relay on a daily bases. A popup when opening box of the web would also do.
When the Approver of a task is extremely busy, the current email notification is not enough, therefore would like to have an automatic reminder on a daily bases on pending approval tasks.

If the owner of a Box Relay workflow is a “Deleted User”, there needs to be a way to transfer the owner to an administrator.
After creating a workflow in Box Relay, there are cases where the owner of the workflow is deleted by a script, etc., but the owner remains as a “Deleted User”.
Need the ability to take over the workflow of a Box Relay that has become a “deleted user” to an administrator or other user.
Reason：
This is because the workflow creator still has the owner rights, and even the system administrator cannot delete the workflow, so it remains as trash.

Inline comments as Trigger in BOX relay workflow
Currently there is no BOX Relay template to start the workflow with Inline comments as File event. It would be great if there is a template for it or if there is an Inline comment option as File Event in BOX Relay workflow.
