Create a status on Mastodon when a file is renamed in Box

■Overview

When you rename a file managed in Box, do you find yourself spending extra time notifying your team or accidentally missing someone? This is especially challenging when using Mastodon for real-time information sharing, as manual posting can be tedious and delay the delivery of update notifications.
With this workflow, whenever a file is renamed in Box, a status is automatically created on Mastodon, enabling fast and accurate information sharing.
