Why teams connect Box and MarkLogic
Keep MarkLogic and Box in step: a row in MarkLogic for every file in Box, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.
A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in MarkLogic says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Box holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.
Stacksync syncs Databases & Forests, Users & Roles, Documents, Collections in MarkLogic with Metadata, Collaborations, Users, Groups in Box bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.
Common use cases
- 01 Land document data in relational warehouses by reading TDE views as SQL rows.
- 02 Write updates from operational systems back into the document hub to keep the canonical record current.
- 03 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.
- 04 Stream enterprise Events (admin events) into a warehouse for audit, DLP, and access-review reporting.
Common sync patterns
A landing zone for incoming files
Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Box become rows in MarkLogic as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.
Continuous archival to file storage
Rows from MarkLogic are written out to Box as files on a schedule or as they change, giving a durable, low-cost copy for backup, compliance, or a data lake, without a custom export job to maintain.
A queryable index of the file store
Every file or object in Box shows up as a row in MarkLogic, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.
What you can sync between Box and MarkLogic
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| Box objects | MarkLogic objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. | Users & Roles Security principals that govern what an integration credential can read or write. | Users is specific to Box and Users & Roles to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. | Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. | Groups is specific to Box and Documents to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. | Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. | Tasks is specific to Box and Collections to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Events Enterprise admin event stream, an audit log of uploads, deletes, logins, and shares across the account; read-only, consumed for reporting or change feeds. | Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. | Events is specific to Box and Semantic Triples to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Files Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store. | TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. | Files is specific to Box and TDE Views to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Folders Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0. | Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. | Folders is specific to Box and Document Metadata & Properties to MarkLogic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Box and MarkLogic
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
Box MarkLogic Sub-second propagation
DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MarkLogic as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
MarkLogic Box Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.

How the Box and MarkLogic connectors work
Box
- Integration surface
- REST API (api.box.com/2.0), plus the Events API and V2 Webhooks
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 for user-delegated access, or server-to-server auth via JWT (RSA keypair) or Client Credentials Grant (CCG) using a Box app; short-lived developer tokens for testing
- Change detection
- V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED; the Events API (user stream via long-poll by stream_position, or enterprise/admin events) provides a near-real-time change feed

FAQ
Box and MarkLogic integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Box and MarkLogic: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Box's Users and Groups), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Box and MarkLogic records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Box and MarkLogic connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Box–MarkLogic integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Box and MarkLogic. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Box: V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED; the Events API (user stream via long-poll by stream_position, or enterprise/admin events) provides a near-real-time change feed. On MarkLogic: No exposed transaction log; polling on document timestamps/metadata, or server-side triggers that record changes for pickup. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the MarkLogic side: Databases & Forests, Users & Roles, Documents, Collections, plus custom fields where MarkLogic exposes them. On the Box side: Metadata, Collaborations, Users, Groups. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
