File Requests
We'd like to create a file request that we use for multiple projects from multiple clients. Each time someone uploads files, we'd like Dropbox to create a folder that's titled with the customers emai...
Right on! No worries! I'm trying to set this up through Zapier's Webhooks "Post" feature, but I can't seem to get it to work there. I've been able to get it working through Terminal on OSX though, but I need to get it to opperate on a server, so that when people fill out a Gravity Form with their email address, that it creates the new file request folder that's called their email address, and then forwards them to that folder to upload files.
Above is what I'm seeing in Zapier's POST tool, but I can't get Dropbox's API to respond.
- Another alternative might be if Dropbox updates Zapier to include a “create file request” zap.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't offer help with Zapier, as that's made by a third party. I don't know whether or not it's possible to correctly format the HTTPS request for the Dropbox API call using that Zapier client. (One thing I do see though is that you have "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create/" instead of "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create". I.e., you shouldn't have that extra "/" at the end.)
Apologies I can't be of more help with that!No worries Greg! Thanks for the tip! Do you know if there's any plan to allow file requests to be embedded? That would be utterly amazing.
