Configuring a Dropbox Subscriber

In the FME Flow Web User Interface, select Notifications > Subscriptions, and click Create.

• Name: Provide a name for the subscription.
• Protocol: Select Dropbox.
• Topics Subscribed To: Specify the Topics you want to subscribe to using the drop-down selector. To create a topic and use it right away, click +.
• Authentication Mode: Specifies the type of OAuth2 access token for the Dropbox account to which you want to upload.
  • Use Authorization Code: Use a Dropbox token generated dynamically. You must authorize with Dropbox to generate an access token, which expires after a four-hour session, and a refresh token that is applied automatically for longer access:
    1. Click Authorize.
    2. On the Authorize Dropbox dialog, provide the following credentials for your Dropbox account app:
       • App Key
       • Authorization Code
       • App Secret
    3. Click Authorize.
  • Use Token: Use a Dropbox access token generated before September 2021 that does not expire.
• Access Token– If Use Authorization Code is specified above, this field auto-populates after Dropbox authorization is completed. If Use Token is specified above, provide the OAuth2 access token for the Dropbox account you want to watch.
• Refresh Token: If Use Authorization Code is specified above, this field auto-populates after Dropbox authorization is completed.
• Access Token Expiry: If Use Authorization Code is specified above, this field auto-populates after Dropbox authorization is completed.
• Source Path – The source file to upload. If the source file is saved to a Resources directory, click the ellipsis (...) and select the file. If the file is in a different location, enter the file path directly. File paths must use forward slashes (/) or escaped backslashes (\\).
• Destination Path – The path to the Dropbox folder to upload the file.

Dropbox Notification Keywords

Use the following reserved keywords in the notification content to modify Dropbox subscriber settings:

• dropbox_remotedestination: The destination path to upload the file.

• dropbox_localsource: The path to the source file to upload.

Example

{

"dropbox_remotedestination" : "/",
