Box
Connect SVAHNAR to your Box account to ingest Box files into a Knowledge Repository. Once indexed, agents can search and retrieve content from those files using semantic search.
What It Enables
Box is used as a Knowledge Repository connector — it lets you index files stored in Box into SVAHNAR's vector search engine so agents can retrieve information from them.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| File ingestion | Import a Box file by its file ID into a Knowledge Repository |
| Semantic search | Agents can search across ingested Box documents |
The Box connection is used specifically for document ingestion into Knowledge Repositories. Agents access the indexed content via the KnowledgeRepo tool — not by querying Box directly.
Connecting Box
Open Connections
Go to the Connections page in the SVAHNAR Platform.
Authorize
Log in to your Box account and click Grant access to Box to allow SVAHNAR to read your files.
Confirm Connection
The popup closes. The Box card updates to Connected.
Ingesting Box Files into a Knowledge Repository
Once connected, navigate to your Knowledge Repository in the SVAHNAR dashboard:
- Open the repository you want to populate.
- Click Add Connector → Box.
- Enter the Box File ID of the document you want to ingest. (The file ID appears in the URL when viewing a file in Box:
https://app.box.com/file/{file_id}) - Click Sync — SVAHNAR downloads the file, extracts its text, and indexes it.
Disconnect
Click Disconnect on the Box card. SVAHNAR calls Box's revocation endpoint and deletes the stored token.
Troubleshooting
"File not found" or "No access"
Ensure the Box file is in a folder that your Box account has access to. Files in folders owned by other users require explicit sharing.
Token expired / agent returns an error
Box tokens expire after 1 hour. SVAHNAR automatically refreshes them. If you see an error, click Refresh Token on the Box card, or disconnect and reconnect.
