New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Dropbox and Webhooks by Zapier

Integrating Dropbox with Webhooks by Zapier allows you to automate workflows between Dropbox and other services. Our webhooks can be triggered by events in Dropbox, such as when a file is uploaded or modified, and can perform actions like sending data to other apps in real-time.
