Creating or editing an endpoint for Box.com activity

Endpoints provide the configuration information that the Studio and the Integration Appliance use to connect to a Box.com. Box.com uses OAuth 2.0 authentication mechanism to authenticate and authorize users to perform operations.

  1. In the Create Endpoint or Edit Endpoint pane, configure the Box.com endpoint as described in the following table.
    Note: Changing the configuration properties of an endpoint affects all orchestrations that use that endpoint in the project. The edits are global, not local.
