Example Use Cases
These are example ways Snow can use Box when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically on its own.
Adds a classification to a file by specifying the label of the classification to add. Enterprise-only feature: This action requires a Box enterprise account with classification templates configured. Users without an enterprise account will receive an error when attempting to use this feature. This API can also be called by including the enterprise ID in the URL explicitly, for example `/files/:id//enterprise_12345/securityClassification-6VMVochwUWo`.
Adds a classification to a folder by specifying the label of the classification to add. Enterprise-only feature: This action requires a Box enterprise account with classification templates configured. Users without an enterprise account will receive an error when attempting to use this feature. Prerequisites: - A classification template must exist in the enterprise. Use `list_all_classifications` to retrieve available classification keys. - If no classifications exist, an admin must first create the classification template using `add_initial_classifications`. Common errors: - 404: Classification template not found (no classifications exist in enterprise) - 409: Classification already exists on this folder (use update action instead) - 403: Insufficient permissions to add classifications This API can also be called by including the enterprise ID in the URL explicitly, for example `/folders/:id//enterprise_12345/securityClassification-6VMVochwUWo`.
Creates a new entry in the list of allowed domains for collaboration within your enterprise. This allows you to whitelist specific domains for external collaboration. Use 'inbound' to allow users from the specified domain to collaborate on your enterprise's files and folders. Use 'outbound' to allow your enterprise users to collaborate on content owned by the specified domain. Use 'both' for bidirectional collaboration. Note: This action requires enterprise admin privileges and the 'manage_enterprise_properties' scope.
Initializes the classification template for an enterprise with an initial set of classification options. IMPORTANT: This action requires admin permissions and should only be called once per enterprise when no classifications exist. If classifications already exist, use the 'add_classification' action to add more options. Common classification examples: 'Confidential', 'Internal', 'Public', 'Restricted'. Returns 400 if the classification template already exists. Returns 403 if the user lacks admin permissions.
Adds or updates a user avatar.
Adds a shared link to a file.
Adds a shared link to a folder, allowing it to be shared with others via a URL. This action creates or updates a shared link on a folder. The shared link can be configured with different access levels: - 'open': Anyone with the link can access - 'company': Only people within the company can access (paid accounts only) - 'collaborators': Only those invited to the folder can access To create a shared link with default enterprise settings, call with just folder_id and fields='shared_link'. To customize access, set shared_link_access parameter. Returns the folder object with the new shared_link information including the URL.
Adds a shared link to a web link.
Creates a group membership. Only users with admin-level permissions will be able to use this API.
Appends a new level to a metadata taxonomy structure. Use when adding hierarchical categories to organize metadata. If no levels exist, this creates the first level.
