How to connect Dropbox and Pushbullet
Create a New Scenario to Connect Dropbox and Pushbullet
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Dropbox, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Dropbox or Pushbullet will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Dropbox or Pushbullet, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Dropbox Node
Select the Dropbox node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Dropbox, Pushbullet, 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 Pushbullet integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Dropbox and Pushbullet (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 Pushbullet
Dropbox + Pushbullet + Slack: When a new file is added to a specified Dropbox folder, a Pushbullet notification with the file's link is sent to a device. A message is then posted in a Slack channel, notifying the team of the new file.
Pushbullet + Dropbox + Gmail: When a new push containing a file is received in Pushbullet, the file is automatically saved to a designated folder in Dropbox. A daily email summary report with the filename and save location will be sent from Gmail.
