IFTTT and Dropbox not working correctly

Post by Nati045 »

HelIo,

I've set up P2R today, and emmidiately it did not work. I looked at both the logs, from P2R and IFTTT, and came across the following issues.
Maybe one of you knows what is going on and what I need to fix?

Thanks in advance!

could this be it:

*** Important *** If you include a slash in the Dropbox folder path as in the screen shot below, please make sure it is a forward slash ("/") not a backslash ("\"). If you use a forward slash your IFTTT applet will work, if you use a backslash it will not work and you will get an error message in your IFTTT activity history that says the Applet failed and there was a problem with the Dropbox service (but no other clue as to what the problem may be).

I've used all forward slashes, here is a screenshot of my IFTTT Dropbox part, the default should be command.txt, but I've changed it to see if that did it, apparently it did not, but it is now push.txt in P2R and IFTTT

The card looks fine. It appears to be an issue with IFTTT. I googled it and found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ifttt/comments ... t_skipped/

one user disconnected and reconnected to dropbox from IFTTT and that worked for them. You might want to try that.

Thanks that seems to do it for me, still figuring out what I did wrong in the first place, though. Thank you very much Rob!
