Box
Connect to your users' Box accounts
You'll need the following information to set up your Box App with Paragon Connect:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Scopes Requested
This is an API-only integration - workflow actions for this integration are still in development. You can still connect user accounts, build workflows, and access the API for this integration.
Under Integrations > Connected Integrations > {YOUR_APP} > Settings, fill out your credentials from your developer app in their respective sections:
- Client ID: Found under Client ID on your Box App page.
- Client Secret: Found under Client Secret on your Box App page.
- Permissions: Select the scopes you've requested for your application.
Leaving the Client ID and Client Secret blank will use Paragon development keys.

Once your users have connected their Box account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Box API on behalf of connected users.
Any Box API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.
// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration
// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectId>, <UserToken>);
// Get File Information
await paragon.request("box", "/files/:file_id", {
method: "GET"
});
// Copy a file
await paragon.request("box", "/files/:file_id/copy", {
method: "POST",
body: {
"parent":{
"id": "123"
}
}
});
// List all collections
await paragon.request("box", "/collections", {
method: "GET"
});
Once your Box account is connected, you use the Box Request step to access any of Box's API endpoints without the authentication piece.
When creating or updating records in Box, you can reference data from previous steps by typing
