Alteryx Tools Used to Connect
Use the Box connector to run, schedule, and publish workflows from Designer, using files stored in your Box workspace. Supported file types are XLSX, CSV and YXDB.
Caution
Desktop Automation (Scheduler) is not supported by this connector.
Data Connection Manager
The Box tools version 2.5.0 and later support Data Connection Manager for an easier and a safer storage of your credentials. Create a connection to Box and easily reuse the stored credentials in workflows that include the Box tools. Alteryx Server requires stored credentials to successfully run the published workflows.
Enable AMP Engine
Make sure you have the AMP engine enabled for the workflows which contain the Box tools version 2.5.0 and later to leverage the full potential of Designer capabilities.
