Updated this week

The Box content integration enables you to import existing content from Box into Intercom. In just a few clicks, you can empower Fin and Copilot with the knowledge your team already relies on.

  • Fast & Easy Sync – Seamlessly import your Box content into Intercom in minutes, so your team and AI tools can start using it right away.

  • Choose What Matters – Stay in control by selecting exactly which documents to sync, ensuring Fin taps into only the most relevant information.

  • Always Up to Date – Keep everything fresh with simple resyncs, so any updates in Box are automatically reflected in Fin.

Note: Synced content from Box will be added as external content and will be made available to Fin and Copilot by default.


Sync content from Box

To set up your sync, go to Train > Content and click + New content then choose "Box".

You'll need to log in to your Box account and then select Grant Access to Box.

Next, you can choose folders and files you'd like to import.

Tip: Use "Select all" or "Unselect all" to easily select all your content in bulk.

Fin currently only supports syncing the following file types from Box:

  • docx

  • pdf

  • md

  • txt

  • html

  • json

  • csv

Once done, click Sync and your content will start syncing.


Manage synced Box content

Once the sync is complete, you’ll receive an email notification. All of your files will appear in the "Box import" folder inside Train > Content.

Configure the settings

If you open a Box file in Train > Content > View all, you can view the content for that file and configure the settings from the "Details" panel.

Note: Imported content from Box appears as external content in Fin which can't be edited, you'll need to edit it from Box.

Files are currently not auto-synced, however, you can manually trigger a re-sync or remove Box content from Train > Content by clicking the 3 dot menu next to Box and selecting Re-sync documents.
