Dropbox to Canva Upload - Data is missing

Hi,

I’m trying to do a simple get image from Dropbox and upload to Canva.

But, when I run the Dropbox there is no “data” field I can put into canva

Imgur

If I put any of the output fields as data to upload to Canva, I get to

“The operation failed with an error. [400] invalid_file_format file format TEXT is disallowed”

What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Hi! Great question.

The Dropbox Watch Files module returns the metadata about the files, but not the content of the files themselves. You might want to filter based on tags, name text patterns or size.

You’ll need to follow the Watch Files module with the Download a File module. You’ll then have a file object that can be mapped into the Canva input fields.

Makes sense after someone explains it to you. But at first it is a head scratcher :slight_smile: Thanks for chiming in!
