Automations: Dropbox
Watch a Dropbox folder and convert PDFs into structured data automatically.
Last updated
This guide covers the Dropbox specifics for an automation.
Connect Dropbox
- Open Automations and select the project.
- Under Input sources, click Add input, then choose Dropbox.
- Click Connect Dropbox. You'll be redirected to Dropbox's OAuth consent screen.
- After returning to DocuClipper, click Browse to pick the folder to watch, set the document type, and save.
How it works
- New files in the watched folder are pulled in. Dropbox notifies DocuClipper of changes, and a scheduled poll acts as a backstop.
- Processed files are tracked so the same file isn't imported twice.
- Optionally add an output to send results to a Dropbox folder, another destination, or a webhook.
Disconnecting
Open Settings → Manage Integrations, find the Dropbox connection, and click Disconnect. Any automations using it pause until you reconnect.
