Create Slack Integration Mapping
Create Slack Integration Mapping
Use the POST integration_mappings/slack/:integration_mapping_id
call to create a mapping. To make it work,
you need box_item and partner_item parameters,
which refer to a Box folder and a Slack channel, respectively.

const mapping = await client.integrationMappings.createSlackIntegrationMapping({
partner_item: {
type: 'channel',
id: 'C12378991223',
slack_org_id: 'E1234567'
},
box_item: {
id: '12345',
type: 'folder',
}
});
console.log(
`Slack integration mapping with id ${mapping.id} was created`
);You can provide options that change the default settings for the
created mapping. For example setting is_access_management_disabled to
true will disable collaboration management. Slack channel members will
not become collaborators on the channel folder and no shared links will
be created for channels with 1000+ members.
Create Slack Integration Mapping with Box SDK
Use Box SDK to automatically create the Integration Mapping, including a co-owner collaboration of the service account on the Slack channel - Box folder mapping. To do so, use this script:
const BoxSDK = require('box-node-sdk');
const axios = require('axios');
const integrationMappingsApiUrl = 'https://api.box.com/2.0/integration_mappings/slack'
const boxFolderId = 'PASTE YOUR FOLDER ID HERE';
const slackChannelId = 'PASTE YOUR CHANNEL ID HERE';
const slackOrgId = 'PASTE YOUR SLACK ORG ID HERE (CHANGE TO WORKSPACE ID IF NECESSARY)';
const developerToken = 'PASTE YOUR DEVELOPER TOKEN HERE';
let serviceAccountId = '<PLACEHOLDER>';
const client = BoxSDK.getBasicClient(developerToken);
async function postIntegrationMappingSlack(){
return axios.post(integrationMappingsApiUrl, {
partner_item: {
id: slackChannelId,
slack_org_id: slackOrgId, // change slack_org_id to slack_workspace_id if Box for Slack is installed on the workspace level
type: "channel"
},
box_item: {
id: boxFolderId,
type: "folder"
}
}, {
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${developerToken}`
}
});
}
function isPlaceholder(str){
return str === '<PLACEHOLDER>';
}
async function addCoowner(serviceAccountId, folderId){
try {
await client.collaborations.createWithUserID(serviceAccountId, folderId, 'co-owner')
} catch (error){
if(error.response.body.code === 'user_already_collaborator'){
console.log('Service account already collaborated in the co-owner role.')
} else {
throw error;
}
}
}
async function logServiceAccountId() {
try {
await postIntegrationMappingSlack();
} catch (error) {
console.log(`Replace the value of serviceAccountId with: ${error.response.data.context_info.service_account_id} and re-run the script.`)
}
}
async function createSlackIntegrationMapping() {
if(isPlaceholder(serviceAccountId)){
await logServiceAccountId();
} else {
await addCoowner(serviceAccountId, boxFolderId);
await postIntegrationMappingSlack();
}
}
module.exports = { createSlackIntegrationMapping }
