Hi,
I’d like to set up a watch folder on my Box account that will automatically download to a specified location on my local storage whenever a new file appears.
I can currently do this manually with the CLI but would like to trigger this with a watch folder.
Is that possible?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi @user199 , welcome to the forum!
Yes it is possible.
You can set up a web-hook for that specific folder and monitor the FILE.UPLOADED event.
When a file is uploaded box will ping the URL specified and from there you can have something (a web server for example) listening that will validate the web-hook and proceed with the download.
This is fairly complex, since it does have many moving parts.
See if this article helps:
We also have guides related to web-hooks:
Let us know if this helps and how you want to proceed.
Cheers
