Email notification when bulk transfers or deletions finish within the Box CLI or API. #421

Closed jkhancock31 closed 1 year ago

jkhancock31 commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When bulk transfers or deletions are performed, the Box Admin or Co-Admin account performing the transfers or deletions is not notified when the command is completed.

Describe the solution you'd like

The Box CLI and API's to send a notification to either the logged in account or be able to set an email address to send notifications to once bulk commands are completed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only alternate solution is visually monitoring the progress bar.

Additional context

Hi @jkhancock31,

Currently our APIs are not aware of bulk calls as they are executed on the caller side. For this reason, it is not possible to send an e-mail notification after its completion.

If there was a dedicated endpoint in the API that would send a custom notification when invoked, it could be easily integrated into our boxcli. We could integrate it into a bulk operation with an additional flag that would specify whether or not it should notify the user upon completion.

Please post your suggestion on the boxpule here so that the right team can consider this change in future sprints.
