How to connect Box and Kintone
Create a New Scenario to Connect Box and Kintone
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Box, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Box or Kintone will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Box or Kintone, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Box Node
Select the Box node from the app selection panel on the right.

Now, click the Kintone node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Kintone settings. Authentication allows you to use Kintone through Latenode.
Configure the Box and Kintone Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Box and Kintone Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Box, Kintone, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Box and Kintone integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Box and Kintone (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Box and Kintone
Box + Kintone + Slack: When a new file is uploaded to a designated Box folder, a new record is created in a Kintone app. Subsequently, a message is sent to a Slack channel notifying the team about the new file and Kintone record.
Kintone + Box + Google Drive: When a new record is created in Kintone, the data is retrieved. Then, a text file containing this data is created both in Box and Google Drive for backup and redundancy purposes.
