Full Description:
Box Relay workflow automation will become available in Cornell Box Sunday, August 14, 2022. It can help automate and streamline content-based workflows. Relay's straightforward interface allows building a workflow to facilitate content collaboration and automate business processes. A new workflow can be created from scratch or one can be chosen from a large number of pre-built workflow templates.

Relay has real-time workflow monitoring and tracking, for example, to see who's approved a document and who still needs to review it. Individuals who've been assigned tasks can be notified to review, edit, and comment on their assignments.

Box Relay can save time and effort for processes that have multiple users, multiple steps, associated metadata, complex routing requirements, or status tracking and reporting.

These may include contract or budget approvals, content collaboration and review, employee onboarding, or other multistep document- or content-based processes.

Box Relay supports collaboration outside Cornell, allowing contractors, vendors, and peers who are not formally affiliated with the university to participate in workflows.
