5. Auto-update and update interval.
Once you've set up a Data Source system, such as Google Sheets, you can begin setting up Dropbox as a Data Destination.
To do this, click “Start configuring Data Destination”.
Select the system as Data Destination. In this case, you must specify Dropbox.
Next, you need to specify the action "Upload FILE" - new files will be uploaded to Dropbox.
The next step is to select the Dropbox account to which will get the data.
If there are no accounts connected to the ApiX-Drive system, click “Connect account”.
Enter your Dropbox account login information and click Log in to connect.
The page will reload and your saved account will be automatically selected.
When the connected account appears in the "active accounts" list, select it.
Attention! If your account is on the "inactive accounts" list, check your access to this login!
Now you need to configure the data source fields (using Google Sheets as an example) to be linked to the corresponding fields in Dropbox.
Fill in the File link and File name fields. To add a variable, click on the field and select the desired variable from the list.
Select the folder you want to send files to, and then click "Continue."
Now you can see the test data.
If you want to send test data to Dropbox in order to check the correctness of the settings, click “Send test data to Dropbox” and go to your Dropbox to check the result.
If you want to change the settings, click "Edit" and you will go back a step.
If you are satisfied with everything, click “Next”.
This completes the Data Destination setup!
Now you can start choosing the update interval and enabling auto-update.
To do this, click "Enable update".
On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or setup scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update will be started, or add several options at once when you need the connection will be started.
Attention! In order for the scheduled launch to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - the auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.
To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.
To enable auto-update, switch the slider to the position as shown in the picture.
In order to perform a one-time connection trigger, click on the arrow icon.
This completes setting up Dropbox as a Data Destination! See how easy it is!?
Now you don’t have to worry, ApiX-Drive will do everything on its own!
