the app receives the webhook notification for that user and looks like up the access token and last received cursor for that account ID

From webhook notification i onlt got account id and delta user, so where i need to use these information ??

I got access token from token api after authentication and i use this key for list_folder and list_folder/continue

I got files changes when i use api , but i want to know where i need to use webhook information that i received .

The webhook notification includes the account ID of the user who had changes in their account. You can use that account ID to look up the user in your app so you know which one to update. This means you do need to record the Dropbox account IDs originally, but exactly how you manage your app's user model and database is up to you of course.
