Hi, 

We would like for specific users to be notified if someone (clients) upload a file to their specific folder in Box. There appears to be the ability to override the notifications for a specific folder, via settings on that folder, however we want to avoid doing this manually - We will have certain staff receiving notifications on hundreds of folders and if that staff member leaves and is replaces then we don't want to have to manually update the notifications for every single folder manually. 

Is there any ability to update email notifications via the Box API? Or any other way to update notifications on many folders simultaneously? 

Thanks
