AWS Lambda
Serverless compute that runs your code without managing servers. [5]
How to connect AWS Lambda to Box
Set up your AWS Lambda and Box integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected AWS Lambda and Box nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.

Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between AWS Lambda and Box. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between AWS Lambda and Box work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for AWS Lambda and Box that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting AWS Lambda and Box.
Connect your AWS Lambda and Box accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when AWS Lambda's "Watch Durable Executions" fires, WEXTL can "Add a User to a Group" in Box. AWS Lambda has 1 trigger (including Watch Durable Executions); Box has 148 actions (including Add a User to a Group, Add or Update a User's Avatar, and Add Shared Link to File). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. AWS Lambda-to-Box automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment AWS Lambda (or Box) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your AWS Lambda + Box automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
