Building a approval process in DropBox

We are considering electric approval proccess* and wonder if it is available such service in dropbox

with standard service or not.

And also let me ask that, if such service is not available, Can we build by ourself with API provided by dropbox ?

 

Approval proccess generally means, subimit and approve a certain document in dropbox

and  left those evidence electrically and automatically. And if available, if ceratin document submitted by a drafter,

sending mail notice to a certain approver system is desiable.

 

Thanks

  • I don't believe Dropbox offers a pre-built workflow like what you describe, if I understand your description correctly, but Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You could use that to build out your workflow and integrate it with Dropbox. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers

    Hi @ryoryo_sochan, I  am curious if you were able to get a dropbox approval process up and running? We are in the same situation.
