Hello everyone I’m trying to integrate dropbox with Simplifier,
Is it possible to integrate Dropbox ?
And if it is then how do we integrate it?

Hi Rushikesh,

 

If the service that you want to integrate has a REST-based API (which a lot of web services have), you can use Simplifier’s REST connector.

Read the documentation of the service that you want to integrate and look for the following information: what is the endpoint URL and what do you need for authentication? In many services, you first need to generate a token via a specific REST call, which you then use as header parameter in the following REST calls.

In case of dropbox, I found this API documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/overview

The authentication types are described here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/auth-types

Here is what you need to do in Simplifier:

• Create a new REST connector
• Set the endpoint URL and the login method (if required. In some cases, you do not need a login method, because you simply add an authentication header parameter in each call)
• Create the REST connector calls. If the service has a specification according to OpenAPI, you can use the REST connector call wizard. In this wizard, you simply paste the OpenAPI URL and all calls are generated automatically.
  Read more about the REST connector call wizard and how you can get OpenAPI URLs here: https://community.simplifier.io/doc/current-release/integrate/connectors/rest-connector/rest-connector-calls/
• If the service does not have a specification according to OpenAPI, you have to create the REST connector calls from scratch, by defining the required parameters according to your service’s documentation: https://community.simplifier.io/doc/current-release/integrate/connectors/rest-connector/rest-connector-calls/#1601990888609-6cd28084-0916
• Finally, test the REST connector calls

 

I hope this helps, if you have any specific questions or encouter any problems, please let me know!
