Once you have signed in, you will be directed to the all apps page. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can start creating your automation workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we’ll create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. On the dashboard, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something relevant, such as ‘API to Box Integration’, and select the appropriate folder.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow.
• You will see two windows: the trigger and action windows.

Now that your workflow is created, you will set up the trigger event. This is where you’ll define what will initiate the automation process in Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger, select the application that will initiate the workflow. In this case, search for and select ‘API’ from the list of applications. Choose the appropriate trigger event, such as ‘New Order’ from the dropdown.

After selecting your trigger event, click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to enter your API key from the API application to establish the connection with Pabbly Connect. Make sure to retrieve this API key from your API account settings.

• Enter the API key and click ‘Save’.
• Once connected, you can select the payment status you want to capture.

After setting this up, you will be ready to capture the response from the API whenever a new order is placed. This is crucial for the next steps of your integration.

4. Setting Up Action in Pabbly Connect

After configuring the trigger, it’s time to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Search for and select ‘Box’ as the action application. Choose the action event that suits your needs, such as ‘Add File’ or ‘Create Folder’.

Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Box account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to enter your Box API key and secret to establish this connection. This information can typically be found in your Box account settings.

Enter the necessary API credentials and click ‘Save’. Map the required fields from the trigger response to the action fields.

Once you have mapped the fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is working correctly. This will send a test request to Box to verify the integration.

5. Finalizing Integration and Testing in Pabbly Connect

After successfully setting up the action step, you can finalize your integration in Pabbly Connect. Review all the mappings and ensure that all required fields are filled correctly. This is essential for the automation to work seamlessly.

Once everything is confirmed, you can test the entire workflow. Go back to your API application and perform an action that would trigger the workflow, such as creating a new order. After this, check your Box account to confirm that the expected changes have occurred.

Ensure that the test data reflects correctly in Box. If successful, your integration is now complete and operational.

This final step confirms that your integration is functioning as intended, allowing for automated workflows between API, Box, and Make through Pabbly Connect.
