Box
Enterprise file ops on Box with governance built in
Box is the enterprise-focused file storage platform that's spent more time on governance, compliance, and access controls than competitor Drive or Dropbox. Three triggers cover the file-event surface: File Uploaded (new file lands in a watched folder), File Downloaded (audit-style event, useful for compliance workflows that track who accessed what), Folder Created. Six actions cover the operational side: Upload File, Download File, Get File, Create Folder, List Files in Folder, Search (with Box's full-text search across content and metadata). The integration uses Box's OAuth at the user or enterprise level (admin-installed for org-wide access). Box's enterprise focus shows up in the trigger choice, File Downloaded fires for every download event, which lets a workflow build audit trails for sensitive content (sales contracts, financial models, customer data exports). Common patterns: a File Uploaded to a regulated-content folder fires a workflow that classifies the file with AI, applies the right Box classification label, and notifies the compliance team in Slack; or File Downloaded by an external user triggers a security review workflow.
Workflows start when Box does.
3 real-time triggers, each backed by a webhook subscription. Events arrive within seconds and you don't have to set up polling.
Fires when a file is downloaded from Box. Useful for audit workflows that need to track "who downloaded which sensitive document when" or for engagement tracking on shared customer-facing content.
Fires when a new file is uploaded to a watched folder. Payload includes filename, size, uploader, parent folder. The base hook for "auto-process new uploads" workflows — OCR receipts, scan for sensitive content, sync to a downstream system.
Fires when a new folder is created inside a watched parent. Useful for "new client folder → auto-populate with intake checklist templates" provisioning workflows.
Do anything Box can do, from a workflow.
Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Create Folder | Creates a folder under a specified parent. Useful for client-onboarding workflows that auto-provision a folder structure ("Client/Brand/Assets/", "Client/Contracts/", "Client/Deliverables/"). |
| Download File | Downloads file content by ID. For workflows that need to relocate files (Box → S3 archival, Box → email attachment) or process them downstream (OCR, transcoding, classification). |
| Get File Metadata | Returns file metadata — size, MIME type, parent folder, owner, modification time, custom metadata. Use this when you need file context without downloading the bytes. |
| List Folder Contents | Returns files and sub-folders within a specific folder with metadata. Useful for "inventory all files in this client folder" reporting or for "iterate over folder contents and process each" batch workflows. |
| Search Box | Full-text and metadata search across Box content the connecting user can see. Filterable by file type, owner, modification date, custom metadata. Useful for "find all contracts that mention term X" or for agentic workflows that ground answers in Box-stored knowledge. |
| Upload File | Uploads a file from URL or base64 content to a specific Box folder with optional metadata. For workflows that auto-archive content into Box (transcripts from Fireflies, screenshots from automated tests, exports from BI tools). |

Three things worth knowing.
Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.
Connect Box once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.
Every Box field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
