    <title>topic Notification of File Request Upload in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Notification-of-File-Request-Upload/m-p/473046#M24027</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi All,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm trying to automate a full process of which Dropbox is part. I need to be able to send a file request using the API and then be notified via a webhook or a periodic poll (not by email) when a file has been uploaded but the file request URL. This way I can determine where the file came from and continue the automation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I can now do the first part, send the file request, thanks to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10"&gt;@Greg-DB&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@994EEA5C10EE66675FFD5E4032FE58C0/emoticons/1f44d.png" alt=":thumbs_up:" title=":thumbs_up:" /&gt; but need to know what options I have to be notified when this has happened. I can store the URL or the ID from the creation somewhere but not sure how I can get that information returned when an upload is completed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@D125BC1199F50B38C96BACC18103EF48/emoticons/1f64f.png" alt=":folded_hands:" title=":folded_hands:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to monitor and retrieve information about uploads to file requests in particular, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can monitor for changes to any arbitrary path though, such as the folder where uploads for a file request are sent. I&amp;nbsp;recommend reading the &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/dbx-file-access-guide" target="_self"&gt;File Access Guide&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/lp/developers/reference/detecting-changes-guide" target="_self"&gt;Detecting Changes Guide&lt;/A&gt; for information on how to do so.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey, thanks again &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@41457EF40051AFF130FDBFE21B496926/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":winking_face:" title=":winking_face:" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What I'm trying to do is automatically send a file request and then run automation when the file is uploaded. The problem is that I will be sending lots of file requests and need a way of determining when a file is uploaded, which request it was related to.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can do this by creating a unique folder (Client name) for the request but then I need to monitor all folders for changes and then send a webhook or something to Zapier with the Folder that the file was uploaded to.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is this possible? how would I/you go about this.&amp;nbsp;Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to Dropbox and I really appreciate the education.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Since you can't look up which file request was the source of any particular new file directly, using a distinct folder per file request is a good solution.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And you can monitor all folders for changes, and see which folder(s) had changes. I reccomend reading through the guides I linked to first for reference. If you want to use Dropbox webhooks, you can find &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks" target="_self"&gt;the information for that here&lt;/A&gt;. (I don't know if Zapier would supports Dropbox webhooks directly though, so you may need to operate your own code as an intermediary if not.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;OK, I should get reading then. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for your help. let's see how far I get &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@FBF7D2AB59A0D6E861EBF6A36F93B7E2/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slightly_smiling_face:" title=":slightly_smiling_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
