How to duplicate a folder in Dropbox for new clients

Hi ​@TAMEManager 

You’ll have to use the Dropbox API: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-copy

Zap action: Dropbox - API Request

Hey Troy,

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction.  I’m new to this and am trying to figure it out but am struggling….  Is the error message telling me it doesn’t recognize the paths within my dropbox account?  If so, am I listing the paths incorrectly?

“/Shared/RECORDS/Client Folder Template”

The “Last First” is the folder I’d like to copy

“/Shared/RECORDS/Records Repository”

Records Repository is the folder into which I’d like to create a copy of the Client Folder Template (folder named Last First), and then I’d like to rename it with the client’s actual Last and First name…

Are you able to give me a little more help?

Thank you!!

This means that the from_path you provided does not exist in your Dropbox account.

I recommend trying to test in a Zap step since that will be what you need to configure anyways.

If you are looking to hire help, there is a directory of Certified Zapier Experts: https://zapier.com/experts

Hmmm…. I may reach out for some expert guidance.  Those paths definitely exist in DropBox and are used by a different zap.  It’s probably something I’m doing related to improper formatting… Hopefully an easy fix for someone with expertise in API…

Thank you for getting me going in the right direction.  I’m excited to see what all I can accomplish!
