Can you specify what exactly isn't working? If the verification step failing, or did that succeed and you just aren't receiving the notifications?

If your webhook URI is successfully added/verified, there are some other things to check as well:
- Make sure you've linked an account to the app, and are making changes in that account. Webhook notifications are only sent for changes in linked accounts.
- If this is an app folder app (and not a "Full Dropbox" app), make sure you're making changes in the special app folder (at /Apps/<app folder name> by default).
- Make sure the webhook notification is following the code path you expect in your handler. (Try adding some logging at each step just to make sure.)

This feature is triggered when a GET request at the address specified in the application settings.

also implemented a post request to the same function.


public function hook(Request $request){ $file = 'hook.txt'; error_log (json_encode($request), 3, 'your_log_file'); file_put_contents($file, json_encode($request)); return $request->input('challenge'); }

I can modify docuent which is located in dropbox paper. WebHook not triggered.

Make edits from your account. With the same account I created the app. The application has a Status Development. My website has a ssl certificate. Oauth2 works

Making changes to a Dropbox Paper document won't trigger webhook notifications. Webhook notifications only fire for Dropbox file changes. I'll send this along as a feature request though.

I've sent this along as a feature request, but I can't promise if or when it would be implemented.
