Automations: Box
Watch a Box folder and convert PDFs into structured data automatically.
Last updated
This guide covers the Box specifics for an automation.
Connect Box
- Open Automations and select the project.
- Under Input sources, click Add input, then choose Box.
- Click Connect Box and authorize DocuClipper in the Box OAuth screen.
- Click Browse to pick the folder to watch, set the document type, and save.

How it works
- DocuClipper registers a webhook on the watched folder for near-real-time pickup, with a scheduled poll as a backstop.
- Files that have already been processed are skipped.
- Optionally add an output to send results to a Box folder, another destination, or a webhook.
Enterprise Box notes
For Box Business / Enterprise tenants, a Box admin may need to pre-approve DocuClipper in the Box Admin Console before individual users can connect. Ask your Box admin to approve the app if the OAuth flow fails with a "Requires admin approval" error.
