I am trying to add .webloc file to a dropbox folder, where i can store the link to a project in our ERP System.

 

Basically i am creating a text file with this content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>URL</key>
    <string>https://xyz.com/project/{value from last step}/<string>
</dict>
</plist>

but the file has to have the .webloc extension to work! Dropbox integration always adds “.txt” to my file.

 

Even RENAMING the file adds this unwanted “.txt” to my filename.

 

Is there a way using zapier to rename the file xyz.txt to xyz.webloc ????

How can this be done?

Hi @Rainer 

Good question.

We would need to see screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured to have context.

this is my zap - the red part is the URL link (i had to anonymize)

 

 

in the meantime i added a second step and uploaded that file again, because then i can set the extension :)

 

 

this absolutely works! 

 

BUT!!!!! How can i DELETE the file from the first step???? I dont find a delete action for dropbox!!! 

@Rainer 

The Zap action for Dropbox Create Text File will only create a .txt file.

 

DELETE File

Ask the AI to create a custom action to delete a file.
