Why teams connect Box and Seismic

Keep the paperwork with the relationship: Seismic and Box share every customer's records and files in real time, in both directions.

Seismic holds the customer relationship as structured records; Box holds the files that belong to those relationships, from contracts and proposals to signed agreements and statements of work. The two are linked in practice and disconnected in software: someone downloads a document, renames it, and uploads it to the right folder, or exports records out to storage for retention. Done by hand, files drift away from the records they belong to and copies fall out of date.

Stacksync keeps Library Content, Content Versions, Users, User Groups in Seismic aligned with Groups, Tasks, Events, Files in Box, in real time. A new account or deal can open its own folder in Box; a document filed in Box can surface as a link and metadata on the matching record in Seismic; and records from Seismic can be written into Box as files or objects for backup, archival, and compliance. You choose which side owns what, and Stacksync keeps the two consistent as either one changes.

Common use cases

  • 01 Provision and deactivate Seismic Users and User Groups from an HRIS or IdP so content access mirrors joiner, mover, and leaver changes.
  • 02 Extract content-interaction and LiveSend engagement from the Reporting API v2 into a warehouse to tie asset views to CRM Opportunities.
  • 03 Stream enterprise Events (admin events) into a warehouse for audit, DLP, and access-review reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Box and an operational database so applications track document status without calling the Box API directly.

Common sync patterns

Document status on the record

Metadata kept in Box, such as document type, review state, or whether an agreement is signed, updates a field on the matching record in Seismic, so people working the account see where the paperwork stands without opening storage.

One place for a customer's files

Attachments that accumulate against a record in Seismic collect in that customer's folder in Box, so the full document history lives in one place and is reachable by anyone who needs it.

A folder per account or deal

When an account or deal is created in Seismic, a matching folder or container opens in Box, named and organized the same way, so files have a home the moment they are needed.

What you can sync between Box and Seismic

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 Seismic 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 User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Metadata is specific to Box and LiveSend Links to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collaborations Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Collaborations is specific to Box and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — 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. Reporting Activities Content-interaction, engagement, and usage analytics extracted read-only through the ETL-oriented Reporting API v2 for a warehouse. Groups is specific to Box and Reporting Activities to Seismic — 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. Library Content Documents, decks, and assets stored in teamsites; created, moved, and retrieved via the Content Management API, each with a contentId. Tasks is specific to Box and Library Content to Seismic — 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. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Events is specific to Box and Content Versions to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Box and Seismic

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 Seismic 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 written to Seismic through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Seismic Box Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.

How the Box and Seismic 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
