Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new file uploaded in dropbox or new message received in microsoft teams. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in microsoft teams. Map the data fields between Dropbox and Microsoft Teams so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
