Add webhooks
Hi Team,
We are interested to know the information via webhook whenever our provider Jot Form adds the PDF file to my dropbox account. So that our program will get the PDF file via dropbox SDK.

Hi,
Thanks for the update.
I found this page earlier https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/webhooks
But on this page, I did not find the complete request body to know the event type, which file got added/deleted, etc.
If the path is not provided how can we know where the file was added? In our case, there are 1000 folders and we configured the jot form to upload the pdf to a respective folder.
Also if there is an example in Java could you please provide that? It will be really helpful for us.
Thanks in advance.
nagasayan koduri, There are examples for different types of accounts (personal and business) of the request payload, so I have no idea why you cannot see them.

There is no event type in the event notification requests! Only information for account(s) where some (or more) event(s) has happen is listed. You have to keep track of the last event happened (using list cursor) and when new event notification comes, to continue listing further. Once know affected files/folders you can check what has happened to them.
The examples are in Python, but I believe this shouldn't be an issue for you to "translate" them to whatever other programing language convenient for you.
Good luck.
