Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New or Modified File or Folder on Dropbox

Dropbox Overview#

The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs"; import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs"; export default { ...common, dedupe: "unique", type: "source", key: "dropbox-all-updates", name: "New or Modified File or Folder", version: "0.0.19", description: "Emit new event when a file or folder is added or modified. Make sure the number of files/folders in the watched folder does not exceed 4000.", props: { ...common.props, includeMediaInfo: { label: "Include Media Info", type: "boolean", description: "Emit media info for photo and video files (incurs an additional API call)", default: false, }, includeLink: { label: "Include Link", type: "boolean", description: "Emit temporary download link for files (incurs an additional API call)", default: false, }, }, hooks: { async activate() { await this.getHistoricalEvents(this.getFileTypes()); const state = await this.dropbox.initState(this); this._setDropboxState(state); }, }, methods: { ...common.methods, getFileTypes() { return [ "file", "folder", ]; }, }, async run() { const state = this._getDropboxState(); const { ret: updates, state: newState, } = await this.dropbox.getUpdates(this, state); this._setDropboxState(newState); for (let update of updates) { let file = { ...update, }; const fileTypes = this.getFileTypes(); if (!fileTypes.includes(file[".tag"])) { continue; } if (this.includeMediaInfo && file[".tag"] === "file") { file = await this.getMediaInfo(update); } if (this.includeLink && file[".tag"] === "file") { file.link = await this.getTemporaryLink(update); } // new unique identification from merging the file id and the last file revision const id = update[".tag"] === "file" ? `${file.id}-${file.rev}` : `${file.id}-${newState.cursor}`; this.$emit(file, this.getMeta(id, file.path_display || file.id)); } }, sampleEmit, };

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Dropbox	`dropbox`	`app`	This component uses the Dropbox app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Path	`path`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Recursive	`recursive`	`boolean`	Also watch sub-directories and their contents.
	`dropboxApphook`	`$.interface.apphook`
Include Media Info	`includeMediaInfo`	`boolean`	Emit media info for photo and video files (incurs an additional API call)
Include Link	`includeLink`	`boolean`	Emit temporary download link for files (incurs an additional API call)

Trigger Authentication#

Dropbox uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Dropbox account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Dropbox and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Dropbox API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.

Action Code#
