External ID for @HttpPost in Apex REST

When we post a Box record we also send Id from another record (callout side) in External Id for Box record. How can we write this request in HttpPost code? Or we don't need it in HttpPost?

My code: 
@HttpPost
    global static Box__c postBox(String title){
        RestRequest req = RestContext.request;
                                                                
        Box__c b = new Box__c(
            Title__c = title,
            );
        insert b;
        return b;
    }
