Integrate documents from your Egnyte account into AlphaSense, easily expanding your access to valuable internal content on the AlphaSense platform, creating a more seamless workflow experience.


Enterprise Intelligence Integrations Experience

With AlphaSense, you can set up a live one-way connection with your Egnyte account and apply AI-powered search to your notes.


To sync your account:

  1. Select Integrations on the top right-hand corner of the platform

  2. Select Egnyte

  3. Connecting Your Account

    1. Click the "Connect App" button. Then follow the prompt to enter your Egnyte credentials and Grant Access to sync between Egnyte and AlphaSense.

  4. The Setup Wizard will walk you through the connection. For now, you'll be able to create an Individual Connection, which is best for personal use and provides flexibility and independent management of your integration. All content uploaded will be private to you by default, but you can manually share documents with groups saved in AlphaSense.

  5. Select the items you want to sync

  6. Select "Manage Tickers & Tags" to easily bulk-select and tag your content prior to syncing. This helps streamline the process of sharing materials for individual connections.

  7. Select the sharing permissions for each folder

  8. Review Content

    1. Review your choices and click "Sync."

  9. Disconnecting Your Account

    1. Go to "Manage > Disconnect."

    2. If you want to keep the content that was synced to AlphaSense, ensure the "Yes, make a copy of my account's current folders to keep on AlphaSense" checkbox is ticked.

    3. To finalize the disconnection, click "Ok Disconnect."


Upload Actions:

  • Metadata Customization

    • Users can add or remove Tags & Tickers as metadata at the folder level during the ingestion process, offering flexibility in how content is categorized and retrieved.

  • Folder Synchronization

    • Users can synchronize entire folders, including all contained documents. Synchronization is exclusively folder-based, with direct file selection not available.


Items to note:

  • Automated Sync for Existing Folders

    • Folders and sites that have been synced will automatically undergo periodic synchronization to ensure the content remains current.

  • Manual Addition for New Folders

    • To synchronize new folders and sites from Box, users must manually add them, initiating the synchronization process.

  • Synchronization Frequency

    • Automatic synchronization occurs every 15 minutes, facilitating timely updates to your content.

  • File Size Limitation

    • There is a maximum size limit of 100 MB for individual files, ensuring efficient data management and transfer.

  • Supported File Types

    • Egnyte integration supports specific document extensions, including .pdf, .html, .htm, .txt, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .msg, .eml, .csv, .xlsb, .xlsm, .one, .tsv, and .ods, catering to a broad range of content types.

  • Account Sync Exclusivity

    • To ensure data integrity, each Egnyte account can be synchronized with only one AlphaSense account at a time, prohibiting simultaneous user connections. These requirements are designed to optimize the integration process between Egnyte and AlphaSense, enhancing document management, content accessibility, and collaboration capabilities within the platform.
