Is there a way to trigger an event, when the user updates a metadata on Box.com UI?  I tried Add New Automation, but there isn't option for metadata.
 
Trigger an event, meaning to call a rest api or of some sort to let a different application aware of the update.

     You can setup a Box webhook to listen for metadata update events and notify your application when that happens. To create this, you would have to setup a new webhook that monitors a folder and listen for "METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED" events on the files in that folder.

     

    Here is our documentation for webhooks and here is our webhook setup guide.
