Dropbox (Import)

The main import flow for SOAP is the same as the manual process. If you click on the process> Import data button, the connection is created and data is imported. How to import & process is described in Manually (Import) .

The Dropbox tab contains the following settings:

• Authorization type: Select bearer token or Oauth2

  • In case of bearer token: fill in Dropbox access token: copy paste the generated token from dropbox here.

  • In case of Oauth2: fill in the Oauth code (and before that setup Oauth with the settings from Dropbox)

• Folder: fill in the directory where the file need to be picked up from. Leave empty if the file is in the root. Use a / before the folder.

• Delete after import: will delete the file from Dropbox

• Move after import: will move the file to another folder

  • Move to folder: Use a / before the folder, if this is empty the root folder will be used.

If you use a folder structure it will look like this: folder: /export/newfiles move to folder: /export/newfiles/done

Please make sure that ConnectIT has access to the folder structure. If you experience problems with importing, you can set the logging on debugging. In the log it is possible to see all the steps that ConnectIT does to import the file. For example if a folder cannot be accessed it will be visible in the log.
