Automate email post-upload script

Automate email post-upload script

We are using Dropbox to ingest files from our clients. We get them access to a shared folder (we're still thinking through which sharing option is best here such that clients can easily upload, but also keep tabs on their previously uploaded files, aka not a good use case for file requests).

 

We want to automate a way to email a client after they upload a file in their folder to remind them that they need to upload another type of file (as a complement to their first file). 

 

I was told that there are no out of the box features to do so, but has anyone created a script for such a task?

I don't think Dropbox has example code for that exact use case, though the Markdown Webhook example is close, in that it monitors for new files in the connected account. Perhaps someone else here has something they could share though.

 

If you start building this out yourself though, the following guides may be helpful:
