Why teams connect Box and Sysaid

Land the records and documents that build up in Sysaid into Box as they are created, and surface Box's file details on the Sysaid records that point to them, without an export job to maintain.

Sysaid and Box hold different kinds of data. Sysaid carries records and the activity around them — the tickets, messages, orders, or issues a team works through, often with documents attached. Box holds files and the metadata that describes them. Where the two meet is narrow but real: much of what Sysaid produces has to be kept somewhere durable, and many of the files Box stores are the very documents Sysaid's records point to.

Stacksync syncs Assets, Configuration Items (CIs), Companies, Custom Fields in Sysaid with Groups, Tasks, Events, Files in Box in real time. Records and attachments created in Sysaid are written into Box as objects or files within seconds of being created. In the other direction, the metadata Box keeps about those files — name, location, owner, modified date — flows back onto the matching record in Sysaid, so people see the current document without leaving the tool. Field-level mapping controls exactly what crosses over and in which direction, so you keep a durable copy of what matters without an extract to schedule or a nightly dump that leaves the copy a day behind.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Incidents and Service Requests with a Postgres database so on-call and internal apps read and update tickets in SQL while agents keep working in SysAid.
  • 02 Create SysAid Incidents from monitoring or error-tracking alerts, then write status and resolution back so both systems stay aligned.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Box and an operational database so applications track document status without calling the Box API directly.
  • 04 Mirror Metadata template instances on Files into database columns so contracts and assets are searchable and reportable alongside other business data.

Common sync patterns

Where Box holds the source documents: file details on the record

A file's name, location, owner, and modified date from Box sync onto the matching record in Sysaid, so whoever is working there sees the current version without switching tools.

A copy that outlives the tool

A continuously synced copy in Box preserves records and documents even as they age out of Sysaid or get changed inside it, so history stays intact and reachable.

Feed a data lake or downstream pipeline

Structured records from Sysaid land in Box as objects a data lake, search index, or processing pipeline can read, without a custom extract to build and babysit.

What you can sync between Box and Sysaid

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 Sysaid 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 End users and admins on the /users endpoint; synced with an HRIS or identity source to keep requester and agent records current. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Configuration Items (CIs) CMDB entries and their relationships; synced with an external CMDB or asset database for one inventory view. Collaborations is specific to Box and Configuration Items (CIs) to Sysaid — 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. Companies Customer and department organizations that scope tickets and users; mapped to Accounts in a CRM or org tables in a database. Groups is specific to Box and Companies to Sysaid — 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. Custom Fields Org-specific fields on service records, discoverable through the API so mappings can be generated without hardcoding names. Tasks is specific to Box and Custom Fields to Sysaid — 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. Incidents Break/fix tickets under /api/v1/sr with type=incident; created and updated two-way with status, priority, assignee, category, and SLA fields. Events is specific to Box and Incidents to Sysaid — 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. Service Requests Catalog and help-desk requests on the same /sr endpoint (type=request); written or read so fulfillment can be driven from another system. Files is specific to Box and Service Requests to Sysaid — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Box and Sysaid

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 Sysaid 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 Sysaid through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Sysaid Box Sub-second propagation

DetectionSysaid notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature.

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.
  • Sysaid: Requests are throttled per the X-RateLimit-Limit / -Remaining / -Reset headers; list calls are paginated with a limit parameter and each org is capped at 100 application keys.

How the Box and Sysaid 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

Rate limits
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.

Sysaid

Integration surface
REST API (JSON)
Authentication
Client-credentials app keys: an application key (clientId/clientSecret) is created via /v1/application-keys, then exchanged at /v1/access-tokens for a bearer token (default 24h, up to 30 days); an x-sysaid-accountid header scopes the account. Legacy V0 uses session-cookie login.
Change detection
Webhooks (beta) push sr.created and sr.updated events with changed-field diffs and an X-Sysaid-Signature; otherwise poll the /sr endpoint filtering on update_time.gte.
