dropBoxSendFile Step

Description:

This step uploads/send the file to the DropBox server. 

 

Inputs

  • selOAuthProvider - Select OAuth provider
  • sourceFilePath - Path of the source file to be uploaded
  • destinationFolderPath - Path to destination folder
 

 

Returns

  • True – step executed successfully
  • False – step failed to execute 
 

 

Usage:

 

 

To use this step, you must configure the Dropbox connection in the FlowWright application. To do so, navigate to the Integrate—Connections—oAuth page and create a new oAuth source. 

 

A sample Dropbox connection configuration is included here for reference.

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “DropBoxSendFileDef” example.                     

  • Create a new definition called “DropBoxSendFileDef”
  • Select the definition and click the “design” button
  • Drag a “DropBoxSendFileDef” step to the canvas
  • Connect the dots between the start and “DropBoxSendFileDef” step
  • Click the “DropBoxSendFile” step to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a name to the step. Select “Dropbox” oAuth provider from the drop-down list. Provide the folder path info to create.  

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new process instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click on the process step to view its properties. The step should send/upload a file to Dropbox at a given location.

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import it (drag-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.

NOTE: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
