Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I have created an online application that is initiated by a webhook notification, when a new file is added to dropbox. I receive the notification OK but would like to turn off webhook notifications until I finish moving the file to a backup folder. Right now once I copy the file to a backup folder the webhook fires again.
Is there a way to turn off webhook notifications programmatically until I finsh the backup move then turn it back on?
Thanks
No, there isn't a way to programmatically disable/re-enable webhooks, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
