Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Box, TimeCamp, 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 TimeCamp integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Box and TimeCamp (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 TimeCamp
Box + TimeCamp + Slack: When a new file is uploaded to a specified folder in Box, the automation checks TimeCamp for project assignments related to the file name or metadata. If a matching project is found in TimeCamp, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel, informing the team about the new file related to the project.
TimeCamp + Box + Google Sheets: When a new time entry is created in TimeCamp for a specific project, a report is automatically created in Google Sheets. This report contains details of the time entry, and it is saved in a specific folder within Box.
