Swift Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+
Swift
Box: Create a V2 Folder Webhook
See more Box Examples
Run the reusable setup once per HttpCurl object, then select names and execute the operation. The setup is repeated here only to make this published example independently runnable. Register a FILE.UPLOADED webhook on a non-root folder. Requires webhook scope and an existing public HTTPS receiver. Registration alone does not implement a receiver; see the signature-verification example and guide.
See the Box API guide for setup and the complete workflow.
