2. Setting Up Dropbox as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up Dropbox as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This means that any new file uploaded in your specified Dropbox folder will initiate the workflow.

To do this, follow these steps:

Select Dropbox as the trigger application.
Choose the trigger event as ‘New File in Folder’.
Connect your Dropbox account by authorizing Pabbly Connect.
Specify the folder path where you will upload your files.

After completing these steps, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to test the connection. This will ensure that Pabbly Connect can detect new files in your Dropbox folder successfully.

3. Uploading a New File to Test the Trigger

Now that you have set up Dropbox as your trigger in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Upload a new file to the specified Dropbox folder to see if the trigger works.

For example, you can upload an MP4 file. Once the upload is complete, Pabbly Connect should capture the details of the file, including its name and a downloadable URL. This is crucial for the next steps in the automation process.

4. Adding Google Sheets as the Action Application

After successfully capturing the file details from Dropbox, the next step is to add Google Sheets as the action application in Pabbly Connect. This allows you to log the file details into your Google Sheets automatically.

To set this up, follow these steps:

Select Google Sheets as the action application.
Choose the action event as ‘Create Spreadsheet Row’.
Connect your Google account and authorize Pabbly Connect.
Select the spreadsheet and sheet where you want to log the file details.

Once you have mapped the fields from the previous steps, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to log the data into Google Sheets. This will complete the integration process using Pabbly Connect effectively.
