How to use Wappwolf Automator

Wappwolf Automator for Dropbox is an easy tool that helps you save a lot of time when processing files. It does this by providing powerful automations (‘actions’) that you can add to a folder. Whenever you add one or more files to that folder, those files will be processed automatically.

How does it work? Three easy steps to get going.

We have prepared a short tutorial to show you how to use Wappwolf Automator for Dropbox. Remember, there is no installation required - it all runs in the cloud!

Step 1 - Connect your Dropbox

Hit the "get started"-button and off you go! After clicking this button a window appears that asks you for the access rights you grant Wappwolf Automator to your Dropbox.

Any user can choose his/her preferences to best fit your privacy and security: “Limited access” creates a new folder in your Dropbox that Wappwolf Automator has access to; only files in that particular folder can be accessed. “Full access” enables Wappwolf Automator to access all your files and folders.

Once you have made your choice you will be redirected to Dropbox’s login page for authorization of access.

Please enter your login details there, and click ‘Log In’.

This will open the autorization pane which provides details about access rights, etc. Clicking on ‘Allow’ will complete step 1.

Attention!
Users that have already connected their Dropbox can skip this step and login to Wappwolf Automator using the ‘Login’-button.

Step 2 - Choose a Folder

You may now select the folder you would like to add actions to. Select from the tree structure (‘limited access’) or explore folders and sub-folders in the detailed view (‘full access’).

When finished click on ‘Next’.

Step 3 - Choose an Action

The list of available actions is shown. Select any action that fits your needs by clicking the icon next to it.

Any action that is selected will collapse and show the action details that specify supported file types, etc.

Clicking on ‘Add Action’ will complete the process - further actions may be added to the folder at any time.

All automations you have configured are shown in the automations overview.

Make your automation intelligent

Use the "Insert Data" box to integrate wildcards in the Action fields. They can be used to refer to results from previous steps. So you can make your actions more dynamic.
