Question

To the best of my knowledge Zapier basically uses Webhooks to link services to eachother. One of the supported services is Dropbox. However Dropbox (still) doesn't support webhooks. (i.e: Dropbox can't signal that a file has, say, updated or changed, to a arbitrary webhook endpoint of choice) .

So how then does Zapier support Dropbox? Does it do longpolling or something?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You'd have to ask them, but I would assume they poll the /delta API.
