Setting up Box for Enterprise
The Box for Enterprise integration from Shutterstock allows customers to automatically sync their entire team's licensed creative images and videos to Box folders. Customers with qualifying Box plans can map Shutterstock assets, metadata, and purchase information to existing Box metadata and templates or attach information to assets as custom metadata. This integration allows Shutterstock customers to organize, search, and share their assets within Box, with assets updated every hour. Shutterstock utilizes Workato to connect a team's Shutterstock account with Box and build workflows to sync licensed assets automatically.
Prerequisites
To start syncing assets and metadata with Box, contact your account representative or contact us directly with the following information:
- The user name of the admin on your team's Shutterstock account.
- A summary of how you want Shutterstock to manage folders in your Box account:
- To sync assets to a single Box folder, provide the URL of the folder.
- To sync assets to multiple folders, describe how Shutterstock should organize your assets, such as into folders based on the user who licensed the asset or based on the license type of the asset.
- If you would like to sync your full license history, partial license history, or sync only assets that you license in the future.
- If you would like to sync images, videos, or both.
- The email address of the designated point of contact to give access to the integration platform to enable the integration.
This integration is available only to customers that have an active Enterprise subscription with Shutterstock. If you don't know if your subscription is included, contact your Shutterstock Account Manager.
