# Databox

Databox is a business analytics platform that consolidates data from various sources into customizable dashboards, providing real-time insights for informed decision-making. It offers intuitive visualizations, goal tracking, and performance monitoring tools to help businesses track key metrics and optimize their performance across different channels.

## Authorize Connection to Databox

Authorize the connection so Dataddo can write to Databox:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| A name for this authorizer in Dataddo | A label so you can recognize the connection later. |
| API Key | API Key |

Dataddo validates the connection when you save it.

## Create a Databox Destination

Go to Destinations, click Create Destination, and select Databox. Give the destination a name, choose the authorizer, then set:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Choose an object type | Object to load the data to. Shown when oAuthId is ``. |
| Account | Select your account Shown when oAuthId is ``. |

Click Save.

Fields that load from your account (such as the target object or module) appear after you choose the authorizer.

## Write Modes

The write mode decides how each flow run changes your Databox records. Databox supports the modes below.

| Mode | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `upsert` | Creates new records and updates existing ones matched by their key. |

Flow columns are matched to Databox fields by name. If a column has no matching field, it is ignored.

## How to Create a Flow to Databox

1. Go to Flows and click Create Flow.
2. Add one or more sources.
3. Add Databox as the destination and pick the authorizer.
4. Select the target object and the write mode.
5. Set the schedule and click Save.

## Troubleshooting

### Cannot connect to Databox

Reauthorize the Databox connection and make sure the account has permission to write the target object.

### Rows are rejected

Databox rejected rows that break its field rules (required fields, value formats, or duplicate keys). Fix the source data or the field mapping and restart the flow.
