Hi,

Thanks for the update.

I found this page earlier https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks 

But on this page, I did not find the complete request body to know the event type, which file got added/deleted, etc.

If the path is not provided how can we know where the file was added? In our case, there are 1000 folders and we configured the jot form to upload the pdf to a respective folder.

Also if there is an example in Java could you please provide that? It will be really helpful for us.

Thanks in advance.

You'd need to call the API to retrieve the updated file/folder information as needed when you receive the notification. You can find information on accessing file/folder information in the File Access Guide.
