[About Yoom]
This can be achieved by using APIs to receive notifications when a page is created in a Notion database and automatically creating a corresponding folder in Dropbox. Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but with the no-code tool Yoom, it can be easily accomplished without programming knowledge.
If you are not using Yoom, please register for free here. If you are already using Yoom, please log in.
First, integrate Notion and Dropbox with Yoom. After logging into Yoom, click "+ Add" from the "My Apps" menu on the left.
When the search window appears, enter the app name and search.
※ Before integrating as My App, make sure to create the data page to be used in the flow.
Enter your Notion login information and click "Select Page".
Proceed to the next step to display a list of pages created in Notion.
The pages checked here will be linked with Yoom.
If you create a page to be used in the flow after integrating as My App, you will need to re-integrate and check it.
Click "Allowing Access" to complete the integration of Yoom and Notion as My Apps.
After logging into your Dropbox account, allow access from Yoom.
Click "Allow" to complete the integration as My App.
Ensure that it is added to the list of My Apps in Yoom.
Now the preparation is complete. Next, proceed to configure the flow details by clicking "Try it" on the banner below to copy the template.

・With the integration of Notion and Dropbox, information and related files are centrally managed, ensuring data consistency and accuracy, which facilitates smooth project and information management.
・Enable quick response and effective resource management, leading to an overall increase in productivity.
■Notes
・Please integrate both Notion and Dropbox with Yoom.
You will see "Template has been copied" displayed, so click "OK".
Let's start with the Notion settings.
Since the app integration is complete, make sure the account is reflected.
If necessary, also correct the title. Next, set the trigger activation interval.
*The trigger activation timing can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. Depending on your plan, the shortest interval for setting the trigger may vary, so be sure to check that. It is generally recommended to use the shortest activation interval for your plan.
Once you have set the activation interval, create or update a page in Notion and then click "Test".
If the test is successful, you can obtain outputs such as the page ID as shown above.
Once confirmed, click "Save" to complete the trigger settings.
Next,click "Operate Database".
Enter the account information you want to link.Select the database ID at the bottom of the page from "Candidates" to set it according to your operations.
On the next screen, you'll configure Notion to retrieve one record from the table you selected that matches the specified criteria.Enter your search criteria and run a test.
This time, specify the output "Object ID" obtained from the previous step.Once you've entered it, click "Test".If there are no problems, click "Save".
Next, set up folder creation in Dropbox based on the information obtained from Notion. As with Notion, verify the account information and correct the title before proceeding.
Next, configure the detailed settings for creating a folder in Dropbox.
Obtain and enter the Dropbox folder path.
The folder path is easier to obtain from the desktop app than from the browser version. For detailed instructions on obtaining the path, please check the official website.
Once you have entered the path, perform a test to confirm that a new folder is created in the specified location.
If there are no issues, press the "Save" button to complete all settings.
Finally, ”Turn on the trigger".
Now, folders will be automatically created in Dropbox based on the information from Notion.
Once you become familiar with operating Yoom, try arranging the flow to make it even more user-friendly.
You can add Dropbox information to Notion for easier access or create the same file in another app.
Refer to the following to achieve "It would be nice if it were just a little more like this".
Wouldn't it be convenient to transcribe the newly created Dropbox information to a Notion page to save the hassle of searching?
At the end of the flow set this time, it is also possible to set it to add a record to the same page in Notion.
In advance, add a Dropbox ID field to the Notion page.
By automatically adding the ID, you can access the file immediately without having to check Dropbox.
If you use different apps internally and externally, it's cumbersome to run two flows separately.
In such cases, set the same flow to create the same folder in another app.
For example, if Dropbox is mainly used internally but external clients use OneDrive, creating a page in Notion will automatically create the same folder in both Dropbox and OneDrive, facilitating smooth file sharing among stakeholders.
In addition to the flow introduced this time, you can achieve various business automations by utilizing the APIs of Notion and Dropbox.
All of them can be used with simple settings, so if you find something you're interested in, please give it a try!
