Webhook for Shared Folder

Webhook for Shared Folder

We are trying to get Webhooks working with Shared folders but it seems that whenever I share a folder webhooks become disabled.

 

What I would like to happen is that we share a specific folder with a user, then when they add files to the folder the webhook is fired telling us about the change.

 

The users who we are adding to the share have been added to Development Users so I'm not sure why the webhook is not being triggered.

 

Any ideas?

Webhook notifications should be sent for any changes in the accounts of Dropbox users that are linked to your API app, regardless of whether or not the changes are in shared folders.

If you're not receiving webhook notifications when you're expecting them though, we'll be happy to look into it for you. That would likely be easier if you can share the relevant app name and user ID(s), so please feel free to open an API ticket here to share the details privately:

OK thanks Greg. If you are saying it should work then I will run a few more tests, if those don't work then I'll send more info using the form you sent.

Need more support?
