Dropbox Writer

Dropbox Writer creates a text file in a folder of your Dropbox account with the content it receives from the flow, for example a summary or a report written by an agent. If that folder already has a file with the same name, it is replaced.

When to use it

  • Saving to Dropbox the daily summary an agent prepares.
  • Leaving meeting notes in a folder shared with your team.
  • Archiving in Dropbox the text of the answers a flow produces.

Configuration

This component needs the credential of the Dropbox API service. In the Credential field (required), pick one with Choose an option or create one with Add new credential. See Credentials.

FieldWhat it does
Credential (required)The credential of your Dropbox account.
Select folder to uploadThe Dropbox folder where the file is saved. Pick it in the selector; left empty, the file is saved in the root of your Dropbox.
File Name (required)The file name, for example sales-summary.txt.
File contentThe content of the file. Connect the data with the text you want to save; the text of the first item that arrives is saved exactly as it is.

Output

Path to File returns the Dropbox web address of the saved file (https://www.dropbox.com/home/...).

Example

An accounting firm saves a daily summary of its clients’ questions:

  1. An agent summarises the questions received during the day.
  2. Dropbox Writer receives that summary in File content, with File Name questions-today.txt and the Summaries folder picked in Select folder to upload.
  3. The file is saved in Dropbox and Path to File returns its address.

Good practices

  • Use a different name each time, for example with the date, if you do not want the previous file to be replaced.
  • Include the .txt extension in File Name so the file opens without problems.
