Actions
What your agents can do in Box
5 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 3
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List a folder's items
Lists the files, folders and web links in a Box folder by its ID (0 is the root, "All Files").
Search files and folders
Searches the Box content the person can see for items whose name, description, content, comments or tags match a query.
Get a file's details
Reads the details of one Box file by its ID: name, size, created_at, modified_at, description, parent folder, path_collection, the people who created and last changed it.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Create a folder
Creates a folder inside a parent folder (0 is the root).
Create a shared link
Adds a shared link to a file or folder (or changes the one it has), so people can open it in a browser.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Sign in with Box and approve access (OAuth).
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Box data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list a folder's items, search files and folders or get a file's details in Box, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Box
Have the agent create a folder or create a shared link in Box as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Box and Slack: it can list a folder's items in Box and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
