Integrating Box with Superblocks seamlessly merges robust file storage and collaboration capabilities. Connect with Box's API to craft tailored workflows, automate file management tasks, synchronize data across applications, and elevate your team's productivity seamlessly.
Once you have an access token, you're ready to set up your Superblocks integration.
Once your Box integration is created, you can start creating steps in Application backend APIs, Workflows, and Scheduled Jobs to call Box API actions. Box actions are REST requests. To learn more about REST requests in Superblocks, see the Building REST requests guide.
