Box Connections

Box is a cloud-based content management and file-sharing platform. Use Box Connections to:

  • Import your files and folders stored on Box to Alteryx Analytics Cloud (AAC). For more information, go to the Import Data Page.

  • Export Excel and CSV files from AAC to Box with the Output Data Tool in Designer Experience.

  • Update Excel and CSV files stored on Box with the Output Data Tool in Designer Experience.

Limitations

  • Publishing to an Excel workbook as a new sheet results in a job failure. We will address this behavior soon.
