Dropbox API access from the cloud. Credential problems
In my flow, I create a Dropbox folder (which works well with the built-in Dropbox node), and then I need to:
- grant access to some persons (using their email address) without issuing a message from Dropbox itself and
- create a link to that folder (which I may later add in the notification I'll be sending)
I'm attempting to implement this using an HTTP request node but appear to be encountering permissions/credentials issues. I made sure the Dropbox app's permissions were scoped. I set up fresh credentials in n8n. Did not work. I created a new Dropbox full app, granted the necessary rights, created fresh credentials in n8n, and tried again; it would not work.
I am not sure if/how I can instruct n8n to utilize this new app. There is no option to specify the app key or secret when creating an OAuth2 credential.
What'm I missing?
