Re: Pipelines | Dropbox & Webhooks assist.

Apologies for the confusion, the Dropbox App is for the custom Pipelines Webhook/JSON Handler API commands to Dropbox later in my particular use-case.  The App is not necessary at all for simply uploading to Dropbox.  I confirmed this by creating a fresh Dropbox Personal User Account, free version, and no Dropbox settings adjusted before pointing my Pipeline at it - meaning it's likely safe to assume now that it is one obscure little thing in Quickbase that I've been forgetting about.

That one obscure little thing might be in the URL Formula itself: Try hardwriting out the first half of the URL:
  • "https://realm.quickbase.com/up/tableid/a/r" & [Record ID#] & "e9/v0"
    • Adjust the bolded portion as needed.

    @Brad Lemke that was it! I recall having to do this when inserting a link into a notification with HTML... tricky-tricky!

    I also noticed that I need to name the file through the pipeline with the file extension or it won't recognize the file type in Dropbox.

    Cheers! I owe you a coffee or beer! Thank you so much!

      I know this is an old post but hoping for one additional item out of this. I was able to take this and get my file uploaded to DB. The reason I need this function is to be able to send a file larger than one that can be emailed. I know want to create the share link from the file in DP, bring that link back into QB, and send that link in a notification. Pipelines does not have a Get File Link option so thinking this is going to have to be done with some API code on the DB side to get the link.
