Box Overview#

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.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  key: "box-new-file",
  name: "New File Event",
  description: "Emit new event when a new file uploaded on a target. [See the documentation](https://developer.box.com/reference/post-webhooks)",
  version: "0.0.4",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  ...common,
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getTriggers() {
      return [
        "FILE.UPLOADED",
      ];
    },
    getSummary(event) {
      return  `New file uploaded event with ID(${event.id})`;
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Box	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Box app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Target	`webhookTarget`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Box uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Box account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Box and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Box API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.
