SaaS Management
Freshservice’s integration with Box for SaaS Management enables you to track and manage users using Box directly within Freshservice. Integrating with Box enables you to:
- Track users using Box and how frequently they use Box (not just by login, but also create/update files in Box) to
identify inactive users for de-provisioning
This integration requires the SaaS Management Add-on. More details can be found here: https://support.freshservice.com/en/support/solutions/articles/50000003270
Note: To start using Box API you need to set up a Custom App using server-side authentication
View detailed instructions to set up the integration here: https://support.freshservice.com/en/support/solutions/folders/50000000561
1. App creation
- Log into Box and navigate to Developer Console > Create New App.
- Select Custom App from the list of application types. A modal will appear to prompt a selection for the next step.
- Select Server Authentication (with JWT) to verify application identity with a key pair. Then, provide a name for your application and click Create App.
Note: Once you make a selection, you will not be able to change to a different authentication method without creating a new application.
2. Basic configuration
- Application Access: To work with existing Managed Users of the enterprise, navigate to Developer console > Configuration Tab > Application Access Settings. Set to App Access + Enterprise Access.
- Application Scopes: Select all the scopes listed under Application scopes in order to perform app actions. See the scopes guide for detailed information on each option here (https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/)
3. Public and Private Key Generation
Once a Custom App is created leveraging Server Authentication with JWT, a key pair can be generated via the Configuration tab within the Developer Console.
- To generate the keypair configuration file, navigate to Developer Console > Configuration tab > Add and Manage Public Keys section
- Click the Generate a Public/Private Keypair button to have Box generate a keypair for you. This will trigger the download of a JSON configuration file that you can use in your application as input to Box config param.
Note: For security reasons, Box will not store your private key. If you lose your private key, you will need to reset the entire key pair.
4. App Authorization
Before the application can be used, a Box Admin needs to authorize the application within the Box Admin Console.
- Navigate to Developer Console > Authorization Tab.
- Click Submit and Review to send an email to your Box enterprise Admin for approval.
5. App Installation Parameter
To install and authenticate the app you need to provide the following input:
- Box Config - Copy it from the JSON file downloaded while generating a Public and private key pair
The following two parameters are required for attaching documents to your Freshservice tickets as either a note or directly to a new ticket.
- Freshservice Domain - The domain of your Freshservice tenant. Example: demo.freshservice.com
- Freshservice API Key - Login to your Freshservice tenant. Click on your profile icon then "Profile Settings" on the right side pane, under "Your API Key" complete the captcha and copy your API key.

1. Software grouping prompt: When a specific software is identified through various sources such as Identity Providers (IDP), Direct Software Integrations, and Discovery Agents/Probe, priority will be given to the software discovered through direct integrations on the software list view page.
Any duplicates discovered from other sources will be automatically moved to the ignored list, ensuring a streamlined and accurate software inventory.
2. Delete Confirmation Prompt: When you attempt to delete a configuration, a prompt will appear, ensuring you are aware that the associated software will also be removed along with the account.
3. Seamless Uninstallation: When uninstalling the app, any configurations currently in progress will be automatically removed, preventing clutter and ensuring a clean uninstallation process.
4. Configuration Saving: We've eliminated the need for a separate save button. Configurations will now be saved upon addition or deletion, saving you time and reducing unnecessary clicks.
5. Redirection control: Post-adding or deleting a configuration, you will now be redirected to the configuration list view page instead of the app list view page
In addition to the recent updates, we've implemented a Shimmer Loader feature for configurations. This provides users with a smooth and engaging experience while configurations are being fetched or loaded, enhancing the overall usability of the app.
We are migrating all SaaS marketplace apps from v2.2 to v2.3 of the platform while incorporating changes to accommodate the new datacenter in the Dubai region.
