Invite new Zendesk users to Box collaboration

Give customers or partners access to the files they need as soon as their account is created.

Trigger

New User Created

Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.

Action

Create collaboration

Adds a collaboration for a single user or a single group to a file or folder. collaborations can be created using email address, user ids, or a group ids. if a collaboration is being created with a group, access to this endpoint is dependent on the group's ability to be invited. if collaboration is in `pending` status, the following fields are redacted: - `login` and `name` are hidden if a collaboration was created using `user id`, - `name` is hidden if a collaboration was created using `login`.

Why this helps

Access invitations are easy to forget during customer onboarding.

  • Speeds up customer access
  • Makes onboarding repeatable
  • Reduces forgotten invitations
