Torq

Box is a cloud-based content management system that includes collaboration, security, analytics, and other features related to information and file storage.

There are two session types, each allowing you to do certain tasks.

User - tasks specific to an individual user

Enterprise - tasks for the entire company

Go to Build &gt; Integrations &gt; Steps &gt; Box and click Add.

Enter a meaningful name for the integration and click Add.

In your Box Developer account, enter the application you want to connect to and go to Configuration.

Copy the Client ID under the OAuth 2.0 Credentials and paste that into the Client ID form in Torq.

All Box steps require passing an access token as an input parameter. To generate an access token, you must execute the step Create a session.

Select enterprise session for steps requiring the enterprise account and user session for steps running in an individual user's account. You will need the enterprise or user ID, which can be found in Box's General Settings.

After creating a session, you can proceed with any of the Box steps Torq has included or create an <a href="https://kb.torq.io/v1/docs/create-a-custom-step">HTTP step of your own</a>.

Use the Access Token created in <code>{{ $.create_session.api_object.access_token }}</code>

Search for the information you would like to find, using quotation marks for exact matches (e.g: “John Doe” and not “john doe”)

1. You may search for multiple items simultaneously using the AND, OR, and NOT operators. For example, John Doe AND “Mississippi” OR torq will get you all the files that include mentions of both John Doe (or john doe) and “Mississippi”, or that include Torq or torq.
2. You can also limit more of the search, including a limit of items, types of files, and more, by opening the Manage Parameters icon.
