Turn on the trigger

Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

export default {
  key: "box-new-file",
  name: "New File Event",
  description: "Emit new event when a new file uploaded on a target, [See the docs](https://developer.box.com/reference/post-webhooks)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  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:
