When order information is created in Amazon Seller Central, check whether a folder exists in Box and create a new folder if needed

‍■Overview

Managing orders from Amazon Seller Central by manually creating a Box folder for each order is time-consuming and prone to mistakes, such as forgetting to create a folder. This workflow automates the entire process: when order information is created in Amazon Seller Central, it checks whether the corresponding folder exists in Box and creates a new one if needed. It helps streamline order management and improve accuracy.

■Who This Template Is For

• Anyone using Amazon Seller Central and Box who manually creates folders for each order
• Anyone looking to automate folder management based on order information for e-commerce order management
• Anyone looking to automate the process from order placement to folder creation and eliminate manual errors and missed tasks

■Benefits of Using This Template

• When an order is created in Amazon Seller Central, a Box folder is created automatically, reducing the time previously spent creating folders manually.
• Reduce the risk of human error, such as typos in folder names or missed folder creation, and improve operational accuracy.

■Flowbot Steps

1. First, connect Amazon Seller Central and Box to Yoom.
2. Select Amazon Seller Central as the trigger and set the “When order information is created” action to start the flow when an order is placed.
3. Next, set the “Get order buyer information” action for Amazon Seller Central as an operation to retrieve detailed information about the order that triggered the flow.
4. Then, configure branching as an operation to route subsequent steps based on your preferred conditions.
5. Finally, set the “Create a folder” action for Box as an operation to create a new folder.

■Customization Options

• With branching, you can set any conditions for proceeding to subsequent steps. This allows you to process only order information that meets specific criteria.
• For Box’s folder creation action, you can not only set fixed text for fields such as the folder name, but also insert information retrieved by previous actions—such as the order number or buyer’s name—as variables to create dynamic folder names.

* “Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that performs processing within the flow after the trigger starts.
