Help! how to create a scenario (post on Wordpress images uploaded to dropbox)

Hello! I’m new on this and I don’t know how to create a scenario that posts on my Wordpress images uploaded to a specific dropbox folder. I did sync everything (Wordpress and Dropbox ready) but I don’t know how to fill scenario options.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @Roc_Herms and welcome to the Make Community!

To get hepl, you would really need to post a screenshot of your scenario so we can see what you have done.

However, from what I can tell, you are creating a post. So text with a featured image. From what you explain, it doesn’t look like that’s what you want.

I suspect you need to use the Dropbox “Get a file request” action and use the “path lower” or “path display” value as the file name (make sure to toggel the “Map” option to put the value there).

Then, use “Create media” from WordPress to upload the image to our site. Then send the “Data” from the “Downlod a file” action as the image data. That should allow you to upload the image.

If that doesn’t work, please post a picture of your scenario and the values of your input and output bundle (consider blurring sensitive information first) so we can see what’s happening.

Hello, thanks for fast reply!

I only use the watch folder module on dropbox and the create post on wordpress. It’s working now, it finds new images and creates a post on my wordpress, but I miss the content posted there. Think the content field should include the static URL of the image but I don’t know where to find it.

Thanks!

On the online help link for Dropbox, there are a couple of FAQs that discuss this. You need to add a parameter (dl=1, I think, but check the page) to have it displayed in your content.
