CONNECTIONS / Box
Box + Datahash: folder exports become ad signals.
Finance and RevOps drop conversion and CRM exports into a shared Box folder every day. Signals watches that folder, hashes the identifiers in each file the moment it lands, and delivers matched rows to Meta, Google, TikTok, and Snap before discarding the file.

The signal Box yields, and receives.
Every kind of signal that moves between Box and the platforms, through one hashed, deduplicated route.
- Offline conversions
- A file dropped into the watched Box folder is picked up on schedule and parsed, so a finance export saved by hand still reaches the platforms without anyone forwarding it.
- Lead conversions
- The column mapper reads whatever header row your Box export uses, so a shared folder used by more than one team does not need a fixed file layout to stay useful.
- Custom audiences
- Hashing runs on read, converting emails and phone numbers to SHA-256 before anything else touches the row, and the source file is thrown away right after the run completes.
- Lead generation inbound
- A rejected row is flagged with its destination immediately, not discovered days later as an unexplained dip in conversions.

Box questions, answered.
Which file formats are supported?
CSV and TSV with a header row cover most exports, and a fixed-width layout can still work through the column mapper's manual field alignment. Once a folder and file pattern in Box are set, anything matching that pattern is parsed the moment it lands, so a recurring export needs no extra step to keep flowing.
Do you need admin access to our Box account?
No. Signals connects with a scoped, read-only service account limited to the folder you choose, not admin rights over your whole Box instance. Folder-level permissions and any retention policy your team already has in place on that folder stay exactly as configured, since Signals only reads files it is explicitly pointed at.
Is customer PII stored by Datahash?
No. Every identifier is SHA-256 hashed at ingestion, and Datahash Cloud does not store PII on its host servers, with the source file discarded as soon as processing finishes. Where data cannot leave your perimeter at all, a self-hosted Core deployment runs the hashing step inside your own environment before any row reaches a platform.
How often are files picked up?
You set the schedule, anywhere from a few minutes apart to once a day, and each file runs through exactly once with row-level results reported back. The watched folder triggers the next run as soon as a new file appears, so cadence tracks whatever pace your export job in Box already runs on.
