Box Folder Event Trigger

The main function of this workflow is to monitor "move" and "download" events in a specified folder on the Box cloud storage platform in real time. Once relevant actions are detected, the system automatically triggers subsequent processing workflows, such as sending notifications or data synchronization. This process ensures that users can quickly respond to changes in the status of critical folders, improving work efficiency and reducing manual monitoring costs. It is suitable for users such as enterprise IT administrators and project managers who require automated file management.
