What it does and what it's for

This integration allows you to automate the extraction of the first file from a specific folder in your Dropbox account, streamlining the management and processing of your files efficiently.

With this feature, you can set up tasks that begin with the first file in a folder, optimizing your workflows and saving time in organizing your documents.

How it works

How it fits in an automated task

A Botize task pairs a trigger with one or more actions. This piece is one of them.

This is the trigger

Every time this event happens, the task kicks off on its own. You don't have to do anything.

Add one or more actions

What should happen next, in this app or in any of the 200+ connectable apps.

Turn it on and forget it

The task runs on its own from then on. If something's off, tweak it or we'll help you.
