Pull from Box

The Pull from Box step gives you the ability to pull a CSV or Excel file from your Box account.

​
Connect your Box account

To connect your Box account to Parabola, select Authorize and follow the prompt to grant Parabola access to your Box files.

​
Custom settings

Once you have authorized your Box account, select your file in the File dropdown.
Additionally, you can tell Parabola if you’re using a different delimiter, such as tab (\t) or semicolon (;), by selecting in the Delimiter dropdown. By default, Parabola will use the standard comma (,) delimiter.

Helpful tips

  • Any changes made to the selected Box file will be automatically synced with Parabola the next time you open or run your flow.
  • Box’s API runs on a 10 minute delay for newly created files. If your newly added Box file does not immediately appear in the File dropdown, check back in a few minutes.

​
Send to Box

The Send to Box step gives you the ability to create a new or update an existing file in your Box account.

​
Connect your Box account

To connect your Box account to Parabola, select Authorize and follow the prompt to grant Parabola access to your Box files.

​
Custom settings

Select the File dropdown to choose if you want to overwrite an existing file or create a new file.
If creating a new file, give the file a name in the New File Name field.
You can also decide if this is a one-off creation, or if you’d like to create a new file every time your flow runs. If you choose to create a “New File Every Run”, each new file will have a timestamp appended to the file name in Box.

​
Helpful tips

  • Anyone with access to an existing file will be able to see and use the changed data.
  • Box’s API runs on a 10 minute delay for newly created files. If your newly added Box file does not immediately appear in the File dropdown, check back in a few minutes.
  • Upload size using our Box step is limited to ~50MB. If you are at or nearing this file size limit, we recommend splitting the file to prevent errors!
  • As of today, users cannot specify the destination folder for the Send to Box step.
