Search For Content

UiPath.Box.Activities.Search.SearchForContent

The Search for Content activity uses the Box Search for content API to retrieve the items that match your search parameters (Keyword).

After retrieving the items, the activity outputs the found file details in an BoxFile[] (Files) object and found folder details in an BoxFolder[] object (Folders).

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 Search for Content activity inside the Box Scope activity.
4. Enter a value for the Input property.
5. Create and enter BoxFile[] and BoxFolder[] variables for the Output properties.

   • Your input property values are sent in the Search for content API operation request.

   • The operation returns the BoxFile[] and BoxFolder[] values to your output property variables.
