Dropbox upload file filename issue

How To
,

Hi all,
I have made a scenario that watches for Jotform submissions, then searches a dropbox file for folders with the name from the job code field in the jotform, if found, it then creates a text file for the message section of the form, and saves this in the folder, and then I want it to save any additional files that have been uploaded to the form. The problem is twofold - first, I can’t work out what to map as the ‘Filename’ in dropbox upload, because the file types being uploaded are all different and therefore I don’t know the extension. 2) it seem to only upload one file from the uploads, rather than all of them (max 5 can be added to the form at a time). Any ideas?

Blueprint -
blueprint (1).json (13.7 KB)

Outputs -
Dropbox Create Text Doc Output.txt (530 Bytes)
Dropbox Search Output.txt (299 Bytes)
Jotform bundle.txt (3.3 KB)

Upload Dropbox bundle is null. But below is the current mapping:

Heya!

Based on the screenshot you shared, it appears that you’re mapping the fields incorrectly. First in the file name, you’re mapping an array (you’ll know it’s an array if there are square brackets after the name), you should map the value under that array.

Second is the Data, the field expects a binary data, in this case, you might need to add an Iteratore module and map the “fileUpload”, next is you then need to add Get a File HTTP module so that it will then be downloaded.

Not sure in Jotform, but I think you need to enable a feature so that the file will then be downloaded via HTTP as the file needs to be publicly accessible for it to be processed in the HTTP module, lastly, map the “DATA” from the HTTP module to that Data field in the Drobox module.
