Hi guys,

 

Is there a possibility to create and send custom email notification to specified users using Java SDK? Our custom application written in Java needs to send the notification to the responsible user in different scenarios, i.e. file has been uploaded to the folder, file has been moved to the new folder, etc. Thank you!

Hey , 

 

Unfortunately there is no way of sending custom email notifications within Box. However, it is very possible to kick off an action when an event has taken place (file uploaded, file has been moved to new folder) by using Webhooks. For a complete list of events see here.

 

After you kickoff an event that has taken place via Webhooks. You can then use your own messaging system or a messaging provider of your choosing to notify your relevant users. 

 

We provide this Webhooks functionality via SDK as well.
