Trigger Operations Page

The Box Adapter also supports inbound notifications (a trigger) from Box in the form of a webhook notification. With this feature, you can create an integration flow that listens for an event notification from Box.

The Box Adapter secures webhook notifications by verifying the notifications against signature keys that are used to sign every notification from Box to ensure that the notification is authentic. These signature keys, along with the manage_webhook scope, must be defined properly in the security credentials for the connection. See Prerequisites for Creating a Connection.

Use the Trigger Operations page in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard to select the particular file or folder events that you want to receive a notification for.

Element Description

Target File/Folder ID

Enter the ID for the file or folder for which Box will send a notification to you if the selected events occur.

You obtain the ID from the Box website. For example:

https://app.box.com/folder/ID_Value

The adapter reaches out to Box, validates the ID, and determines the object type (file or folder) of the specified ID.

Target Object Type

Automatically populated with either FILE or FOLDER based on the ID you entered.

Event Type

Select the type of event that you want a notification for.

Event Name

Scroll the list or filter by name to view the available events. Move entries between the Available Event Names column and the Selected Event Names column to choose one, some, or all more events that you want a notification for. Your integration flow will listen for the selected events.
