1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start adding Box file comments in Google Sheets, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform serves as the central integration tool that connects Box and Google Sheets seamlessly. Simply visit the Pabbly Connect homepage to sign in or create a free account.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. This is where you can create workflows that automate processes between various applications. After signing in, you can click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your integration.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow to automate the addition of Box comments to Google Sheets. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Add Box File Comments in Google Sheets’. You can categorize your workflow into folders for better organization.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button after naming your workflow.
• You will see the trigger and action setup options.
• Select ‘Box’ as your trigger application.

After setting up the trigger, choose ‘Comment Created’ as the trigger event. This step is crucial as it defines when the integration will be activated. Next, you will connect your Box account with Pabbly Connect to proceed with the integration.

3. Connecting Box to Pabbly Connect

To establish a connection between Box and Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Connect’ button. If this is your first time connecting, you will need to select ‘Add New Connection’. This will prompt you to log into your Box account.

Once logged in, grant access to Pabbly Connect for seamless data transfer. You will need to provide the File ID to specify which Box file you want to monitor for comments. The File ID can be found in the URL of your Box file, formatted as follows: `https://app.box.com/files/123456` where `123456` is the File ID.

4. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Action Application

Once the Box connection is successful, you will set Google Sheets as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Google Sheets’ and select ‘Add a New Row’ as the action event. This ensures that every new comment in Box is automatically added to your specified Google Sheets document.

Next, you will need to connect your Google Sheets account. Click on ‘Connect’, select ‘Add New Connection’, and sign in to your Google account. Allow Pabbly Connect to access your Google Sheets data. After successful authorization, you can select the spreadsheet you previously created for Box comments.

• Choose the spreadsheet named ‘Box Comments’.
• Select ‘Sheet1’ as your target sheet for the new row.

Finally, map the fields from the Box comment response to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheets. This mapping ensures that the username, user email, and the comment are accurately captured each time a new comment is made.

5. Testing the Integration Setup

To ensure that your integration works correctly, you need to conduct a test. Post a new comment on the specified Box file. For example, you can write something like, ‘I want to create an AI chatbot for my business using Open AI’. After posting, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the response has been captured.

If successful, you will see the details of the comment, including the username and email, displayed in Pabbly Connect. Now, check your Google Sheets to confirm that the new row has been added with the correct information from the comment.

Verify that the username and email are correctly reflected. Ensure that the comment content matches what was posted in Box.

With this, you have successfully set up the automation between Box and Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. You can now repeat this process with different comments to see how it works.
