Zapier - 409 error path/not found
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to get the meta data for a file so I can access the "shared_folder_id" and then add a member (or group if possible) to that folder. It's on a team folder.
I'm using Zapier as I want this to be automated upon a trigger.
The issue I get is during a Post request to get_metadata, the path cannot be found (error 409)
I first find a folder, which returns correctly.
Then I run a custom request (http) for:
{
"include_deleted": false,
"include_has_explicit_shared_members": false,
"include_media_info": false,
"path": "<path from the previous find folder path in zap>" }
I've also verified this folder path does exist (I can see it, and it's all spelt correctly). This leads me to believe it's a access or permission error, but I'm not confident.
Headers:
Authorization Bearer <my actual token id>
Content-Type application/json
Dropbox-API-Select-Admin. dbmid:<my actual token id for myself as an admin user>
The folder I'm accessing has myself listed as access, and I'm also included in a group that has access.
I've selected all permissions on my app to write/edit everything, generated a new auth token after saving, and I still have issues.
Any help is much appreciated. I'm happy to provide any additional information as well.
Thanks in advance!
