Box Files and e-signing # Connect Box to Hypamoon Yes, with one catch. Box has an open API that you can use yourself, but it signs in with OAuth only, and that takes more work in a Hypamoon adapter today. Open ## The check Three questions about the API of Box, answered from its own docs. **Public API docs**\ **Yes.** [Read the docs](https://developer.box.com/reference/) **A key you create yourself**\ **Yes.** Create a platform app in the Box Developer Console and let your own Box admin authorize it; no review by Box. [developer.box.com](https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/client-credentials/) **Versions or a changelog**\ **Yes.** Versioned paths (/2.0/), a versioning strategy page and a developer changelog. [developer.box.com](https://developer.box.com/changelog/) **How it signs in**\ Client credentials grant with the client ID and secret of a server app, which returns a 60 minute token; JWT and user OAuth 2.0 are also supported. **Webhooks**\ **Yes.** It can tell your app when something changes. [developer.box.com](https://developer.box.com/guides/webhooks/) **Hosting**\ Cloud **Condition**\ A Box admin must authorize the server app in the Admin Console before it can be used. ## What you can build Upload intake documents into the right customer folder, search files from your chat, and get a message when a file is added. Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. [How adapters work](https://hypamoon.com/docs/adapters) ### Good to know - Box signs in with OAuth or signed requests only, with tokens that expire. The Hypamoon vault holds a fixed key today, so an adapter for Box takes more work: ask your chat to check this first. - With the client credentials grant the app acts as its own service account by default; give that account access to the folders it needs. ## Try it in your chat Fill in what to read and write, and send it.
