Frequently Asked Questions about Box + GitHub integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Box and GitHub

What are the main triggers for Box in a GitHub integration?

In our Box and GitHub integration, common triggers include a new file being uploaded to a specific folder in Box, or when a file is updated or deleted. These events can then trigger actions in GitHub, such as creating an issue or updating a repository with the new information.

How can I automate tasks between Box and GitHub?

You can automate tasks by setting up 'Zaps' that connect Box and GitHub. For instance, you could set up a Zap where uploading a document to a certain folder in Box automatically creates an equivalent issue in your GitHub repository.

Is it possible to track changes from Box in my GitHub project?

Yes, by connecting your Box account with GitHub through our platform, you can create workflows that notify your team on GitHub whenever there's an update or change to files stored on Box. This keeps everyone synced without manual updates.

Can we trigger actions on Google Drive from events happening on GitHub using this integration?

While our primary focus here is integrating Box with GitHub, if you're looking for interactions involving Google Drive, you might want to check dedicated Zaps for Google Drive and their connection possibilities with both Box and GitHub separately.

Do I need coding skills to set up the integration between Box and GitHub?

No coding skills are needed! Our user-friendly interface allows you to set up integrations using simple point-and-click actions without any programming knowledge. You select the triggers and actions you want—and we handle the rest!

What happens if there is an error during the automation process?

If an error occurs during automation between Box and GitHub, our system will notify you immediately. You can review detailed error logs under your account activity panel to diagnose issues quickly.
