Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Dropbox, Cloudinary, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Dropbox and Cloudinary integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Dropbox and Cloudinary (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Dropbox and Cloudinary

Dropbox + Cloudinary + Google Drive: When a new file is added to Dropbox, it's automatically uploaded to Cloudinary for processing. After processing in Cloudinary, the processed resource is backed up to a specified folder in Google Drive.

Dropbox + Cloudinary + Slack: When a new file is added to Dropbox, it's uploaded to Cloudinary. After Cloudinary processes the new uploaded resource, a message is sent to a specified Slack channel, notifying users that the image has been processed.
