Monitor key actions surrounding your most important Box files. This workflow automatically triggers whenever the *parent folder* of a specified Box file is moved or downloaded, providing immediate alerts on changes to its environment.
About This Workflow
Gain crucial insights into the handling of your vital Box files. This n8n workflow precisely targets a specific file, but instead of monitoring actions on the file itself, it triggers when the folder containing that file is either moved to a new location or downloaded. This unique capability allows you to track changes to the operational context of a critical document, ensuring its environment remains secure and its accessibility is controlled. Ideal for compliance, security auditing, or simply staying informed about where your most important assets reside and who's accessing their containing directories, all with real-time, automated alerts.
