Zapier - 409 error path/not found

Hello everyone!   I'm trying to get the meta data for a file so I can access the "shared_folder_id" and then add a member (or group if possible) to that folder. It's on a team folder. I'm using...

    It looks like you meant to call /2/files/get_metadata, but based on the error message in the response body you actually called /2/sharing/get_folder_metadata (which takes different parameters, and so the call failed). Make sure you've configured that to call /2/files/get_metadata if that's what you intended.

Hi Greg,


That helped fix that error. I can't believe I missed that! I'm still getting the none type issue on the next step, but I have a feeling it's time to ask Zapier what's going on, because passing a hardcoded variable is still showing the same thing.


Thanks so much for your help!

    Did you end up figuring this out? I am also receiving this error, though it seems like the action is successful ("Dropbox folder is shared properly").

      Not entirely.   Which specific issue are you having, because I had a few coupled together. 

      If you send over what you have and I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can help get you to the next step.

        It looks like the issue I'm having is that the API request is returning "Null" instead of an "OK" or something like. This is by design according to the API documentation.

         

        Zapier doesn't seem to have a way to deal with these API requests at the moment. Have you found a way around that?
