Adding users to full dropbox development app

Adding users to full dropbox development app

Im trying to create an app for my dropbox business team to read changes via webhooks and aws lmabda url and backup those changes to an aws s3. I created a dropbox app with full dropbox scope, enabled permissions to read metadata and files, added the url for my lambda to the webhook url in the app, and passed the web hook verification. The admin for my teams dropbox account added the app using the app key and app secret key while following the instructions found here: https://help.dropbox.com/integrations/app-integrations . Im not sure if this is all we need to do to link my app to the team account. Im not getting any requests from the web hook when changing files and in the app console, it shows that I have 0 development users. What else do I need to do to link my app and our teams dropbox?

The app will need to be linked to the account or team before webhook notifications will be sent for that account/team. Please refer to the OAuth Guide for information on how to connect accounts or teams to an app.

Hi @kodieatsyou,

Letting using connect to particular application (or to all applications at all) doesn't mean you have linked particular account to any application! These are different things. One is permission to do something, other is actual action to perform that things. Of course, permission is something needed, but doesn't mean you have the application connected/linked. The only thing lefts is to... link the application. :slightly_smiling_face: Only the account(s) that linked your application will note changes in your webhook.

Hope this helps.
