How to connect FreeAgent and Dropbox
Create a New Scenario to Connect FreeAgent and Dropbox
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 FreeAgent, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, FreeAgent or Dropbox will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find FreeAgent or Dropbox, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring FreeAgent, Dropbox, 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 FreeAgent and Dropbox integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between FreeAgent and Dropbox (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect FreeAgent and Dropbox
FreeAgent + Dropbox + Slack: When a new expense is logged in FreeAgent, the attached receipt is uploaded to a designated folder in Dropbox. Subsequently, a message is sent to a specified Slack channel, notifying the finance team of the new expense and providing a link to the receipt in Dropbox.
Dropbox + FreeAgent + Google Sheets: When a new file is added to a designated Dropbox folder (specifically invoices), the file name is extracted, and a new row is added to a Google Sheet. This row includes the invoice filename and any associated FreeAgent project details (if a naming convention allows extraction). This allows for automated invoice logging and reporting.
