This tutorial describes how to embed your Box account with the Gainsight app on the Customer360 Details page. Embedding Box in the C360 allows users to store/share files related to your respective customers.

Note: These instructions are also valid for setting up Box as a section of the R360.

Tutorial Assumptions:

  • You are aware of how to set URL parameters and the base URL for Box.
  • You already have a Box folder structure in place, which includes a folder for each of your accounts. (If you don't have a folder structure in place yet, see below.)

Using Box in the C360 without an established folder structure

It's possible to use the Box embedded page in Gainsight without creating a specific folder structure in Box. You will first need to install Box for Salesforce. Then, the embedded page will need to use the same parameters as described above, and your integration will work similar to how the Box widget works on an Account page in Salesforce. 

The first time you access an account, a folder will be created and linked to the Salesforce account record. After that, all users should see the same folder, and any file uploaded from the C360 Box section will be saved in that folder.
