    <description>&lt;P&gt;Webhook notifications will only be sent for accounts "connected" or "linked" to the app, so it is expected that you won't get any notifications&amp;nbsp;with your described current set up.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Typically, you would have users connect to your via &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide" target="_blank"&gt;the OAuth app authorization flow&lt;/A&gt;. If you only need to connect your own account though, you can do so more easily without implementing that by clicking the "Generate" button on the app's page on &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps" target="_self"&gt;the App Console&lt;/A&gt;. That will connect your app to your own account without any extra work.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>How to get webhooks without creating an app or caring about users</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm a member of a dropbox business account, and I have created an endpoint to receive Dropbox webhooks whenever files are modified, but my endpoint receives no messages.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(The endpoint is verified and accepted by dropbox, and I have the endpoint logging any and all json content that is posted to it, so it's pretty unconstrained.&amp;nbsp; Also, I can communicate with the endpoint fine using Postman.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I assume that the reason I receive no webhook messages is because I have no users associated with my app.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; However, I do not want to deal with users nor apps.&amp;nbsp; I just want to configure the Dropbox business account, for which I am an admin, to send webhook messages whenever a file gets updated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also assume that to associate a user with my "app," then I might need to create some minimal (and unwanted) website just to direct users to Dropbox's federated login, however I don't want to deal with any of this if I can avoid it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What might be the best way for me to proceed?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
