Overview of Box

The Box API offers a playground for enhancing content management and collaboration within your cloud storage. With Pipedream, you can orchestrate Box's functionality to automate document handling, streamline approval flows, sync files across apps, and trigger actions based on file events. Think of Pipedream as the glue that allows you to connect Box with your tech stack, triggering workflows with new file uploads, comments, or when sharing settings change, to enhance productivity and minimize manual labor.

Overview of Python

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:
