Box

Add Box to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.

Embed a Box integration so your customers can work their own files, folders, shared links, and metadata from inside your product, with governed agent access to the same content. Access runs through each customer's own Box grant, so their existing permissions apply and your product cannot read a file the connected account could not read itself. fastn handles per-tenant OAuth, pagination, and API upkeep, so onboarding another Box enterprise is configuration rather than a release.

In your product

Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.

Let customers connect their own Box account and browse folders and files from inside your product.

Upload, update, and version files into the right folder so documents are filed where the customer expects.

Create time-limited shared links so users can distribute a file without granting broader access.

Read and write file metadata, and trigger your product when a file is uploaded, moved, or deleted.

For your AI agents

Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.

An agent reads a document from Box to answer a question grounded in the customer's own files.

An agent writes a generated document into the correct folder within governed permissions.

An agent reacts to a new upload and starts the review or extraction workflow.

Example prompt

List files added to this folder in the last week over 10 MB and create a shared link for each.

Set up Box in 4 steps

  1. 01Open the Box connector from your fastn dashboard.
  2. 02Have each customer authenticate their own Box account with OAuth and select the folders to expose.
  3. 03Map the file and metadata fields your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
  4. 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.

Why teams use the Box integration

What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.

  • Ship a Box integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Box account inside your product and work their files, documents and versions there, with no per-customer code on your side.
  • Handle the part that actually costs time: permissions and versioning are easy to get subtly wrong, and mistakes expose content. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Box update is not your on-call problem.
  • One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Box connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you let your product work with your customers' documents in place without wiring it twice.

Box integration FAQ

How do I add a Box integration to my product?

Enable the Box connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Box account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Box client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.

Do my customers each connect their own Box account?

Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Box account and only ever sees their own files, documents and versions. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.

Can AI agents use this Box integration?

Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads a document from Box to answer a question grounded in the customer's own files.

Who maintains the Box integration?

fastn does. When Box changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.

Whose permissions does the Box integration run under?

Each customer's own Box grant. Where Box holds a library, their existing folder and item permissions apply and your product cannot reach content the connected account could not reach itself. Where it processes content you supply rather than storing it, the call runs under that customer's own credentials and is logged per tenant.

Can my product create or update content in Box automatically?

Where Box supports writes, documents, entries and assets can be created, updated and filed from your product or by an agent within scoped permissions, with each action logged. Where it is a read surface, the same connection serves reads only.

What can I build with the Box integration?

A common starting point: connect their own Box account and browse folders and files from inside your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.

How much does the Box integration cost?

It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Box does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
