Box File Utilities

The Box File Utilities Plug-in provides the following:

• Custom Functions
  • Create JSON Web Token (JWT) - createtoken() provides the user with a JWT that can be used for up to 60 seconds as authentication with the Box “token” API
  • Construct URL Custom Function - constructboxurl() expression function facilitates the creation of a servlet download link
• Smart Services
  • File Upload - after obtaining a JWT, this smart service uses the access token and calls the file upload API passing in the contents of a provided Appian Document
  • File Download to Appian - this smart service can download a file from Box and store it in a provided Appian Knowledge Center or Folder
• Servlet
  • File Download - downloads a file directly to the browser for the user to view/save to their computer. For security reasons most of the parameters passed to the servlet are obfuscated.  Use the "constuctboxurl" function to create a URL to access the servlet securely.

Please see the Box File Utilities guide included with the download for complete setup and usage instructions.
