Create Upload Session

UiPath.Box.Activities.File.ChunkedUpload.CreateUploadSession

The Create Upload Session activity uses the Box Create upload session API to upload a new file (File Path) to a specified folder (Parent Folder ID).

After creating the session, the activity outputs a BoxUploadSession object (UploadSession) that includes the session properties.

How it works

The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the Setup steps.
2. Add the Box Scope activity to your project.
3. Add the Create Upload Session activity inside the Box Scope activity.
4. Enter values for the Input property.
5. Create and enter a BoxUploadSession variable for the Output property.
   • Your input property values are sent in the Create upload session API operation request.
   • The operation returns the BoxUploadSession value to your output property variable.
