Box is one of the most popular enterprise cloud-based storage providers on the market. Now, with Screenly's [Zapier integration](/blog/2025/01/19/screenly-zapier-digital-signage-integration/), it's possible for thousands of companies to more easily manage their digital signage content through [Box](https://www.box.com/). It's now easier than ever for non-technical users to participate in their company's digital signage content strategy - all they need to do is drag and drop content into a Box folder. Next, that content is displayed on real digital signs in just moments.

In the post below, we'll walk you through how to use Screenly's Zapier integration and Box to make your company's digital signage workflow more simple than ever.

## Step 1: Set up your Screenly account

The first step is to [log in](https://login.screenlyapp.com/login) to your Screenly account. If you do not have a Screenly account, you can get one with our [free trial](https://login.screenlyapp.com/sign-up). Within your Screenly account, set up your first screen. Click the *Screens* tab on the left side menu. Next, click the *+ New Screen* button on the top right. In the new page that loads, select the *Screenly Anywhere* option. Open [anywhere.screenly.io](https://anywhere.screenly.io) on your smart TV or browser and enter the *PIN code*. Give your screen a name, and to add your screen, click *Add*.

Next, you need to create a playlist. Click the *Playlists* tab on the left side menu. Then click the *+ New Playlist* option on the top right. In the new screen that loads, give the new playlist a name. Then, in the *Plays On* input field, select the new screen you just added (or the name of the screen you intend to use) and select *Save*. Next, select *Save* again on the bottom right.

Great! Your Screenly account is now ready to receive content from your Box account.

## Step 2: Get started with your Zapier account

The next step is to log in to your [Zapier](https://zapier.com/) account. If you don't have a Zapier account, there are several paid options as well as free trial options. Once you log in, click the *+ Create* button on the top left. In the new drop-down menu, click *Zaps*. To get started, now click the purple *+ Create* button on the top right. Select *New Zap*.

## Step 3: Set the Box trigger for your Zap

Now, we need to connect your Box account and set up the *Trigger* that initiates the Zap process. Select the *Trigger* icon on the Zap dashboard. Next, search for and select the Box app. For the *Trigger* event, choose *New File*. In the *Account* field, you will have to log in and authenticate your Box account. When that is complete, click the purple *Continue* button.

In the Configure stage, select the folder in your Box account where you plan to add digital signage content. For the *Share* input field, you don't have to select anything. Click the purple *Continue* button again. Then, click the purple *Test trigger* button. If the test goes through successfully, you're all set! It's time to move on to setting up the Action.

Next, in the *Account* input, you'll need to authenticate your Screenly account. To do so, click the *Settings* tab on your Screenly dashboard. Then, click *Security* in the sub-menu of the new page that loads. Lastly, click *Show* on the *Token* row and name and save your token key. You can then paste your token key in the Zapier popup modal to authenticate your account.

In the Configure section, complete the *File URL* field using the *File* option from the Box drop-down options. For the *Asset Title* field, use the *Name* option from the Box drop-down options. Next, select the *Duration* you want the asset to show for with each appearance. Next, click the *Existing Playlist* input section and select the playlist you created in Step 1. In the *Screen* input section, select the screen you created in Step 1 or any other active screen(s) that you wish to use. Next, click *Test step* to test the process. After a successful test, you should see the Box file in the selected playlist inside your Screenly account. That file should then play on any assigned screens on the next sync.
