Re: Pipelines | Dropbox & Webhooks assist.

@Joey Zint I believe your answer is already in this thread (reply 7) when used in combination with the Dropbox API Documentation.

But let me expand.

You'll need 2 steps to access the sharable link.

1) Fetch JSON
Type: POST

Headers:
Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXXX <-- Replace with your Dropbox authorization
Content-Type: application/json​​

Body:
{
"path": "{{b.path}}", <-- where b.path is the path from a prior Dropbox Upload File step
"settings": {
}
}

JSON URL: https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings

2) Iterate over JSON records
JSON Sample Schema:
Copied "Return" sample from this Dropbox API Documentation:
From the iterate JSON step, you can then access the URL to populate in your Quickbase/email.

Please note I'm not currently using this Pipeline but set it up for testing purposes. At which time it was functioning as expected.

Let me know if this helps 👍

    Thank you so much....that was what I needed. Everything is working. I just need to refine the process to create a folder, place the file there, and update the existing file if there are changes in QB. This is not a process that is going to run very much. I just need an option to place large files that cannot be emailed into DropBox and send a link in a notification for them to download.

    This is my first pipeline, so pretty stoked that it works. I have done some Microsoft Flows with QuickBase and this is very similar.
