Start a workflow automatically when a new video is added to a monitored Dropbox folder.

The New Dropbox Video trigger is for workflows that should watch a Dropbox folder and send new videos into the rest of your workflow. Use it when a shared folder is where new source videos arrive. Dropbox account verification is required before Overlap can monitor folders.

​

Add the node

Open Workflows from the left sidebar and click New to open the workflow builder. In the Trigger stage, choose New Dropbox Video. Overlap adds the trigger node to the canvas, selects it, and moves the left panel forward to Editing so you can continue building the workflow. Click the New Dropbox Video node on the canvas whenever you need to reopen its settings on the right side.

​

Choose the Dropbox folder

In the right-side settings panel, use Dropbox Folder to choose the folder this trigger should monitor for new videos. If Dropbox is already connected, the panel shows Dropbox connected. You can choose a folder below. Click Select Folder and choose the folder that should start the workflow when new videos are added. Until a folder is selected, the node shows Incomplete and displays Folder required • Set in right panel on the canvas. If the panel asks you to connect or verify Dropbox, complete that step first, then return to Select Folder.

​

Build the rest of the workflow

After the trigger is configured, continue in Editing with nodes such as Find Clips, Add Subtitles, or Reframe. Finish with an export node, then click Publish when the workflow is ready to listen for new Dropbox videos.
