What it does
When enabled, Impact Designer uploads each order’s generated artwork files (SVG/PNG) to your Dropbox and (optionally) uses the Dropbox share links inside the Make payload.
Setup (one-time)
- Create a Dropbox App
- Go to https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps → Create app
- Choose Scoped access
- Choose Full Dropbox (recommended; required for Team folders).
If you choose “App folder”, uploads can only go to /Apps/<AppName>/…
- Enable required permissions (scopes)
In the Dropbox app settings, enable:
- account_info.read
- files.content.write
- sharing.read
- sharing.write
- Add Redirect URI
Add this redirect URL (replace with your domain):
- https://YOURDOMAIN.com/product-designer/api/v1/integration/dropbox_export/oauth-callback
Configure inside Impact Designer (Admin UI)
Go to Admin → Integrations → Dropbox Export:
- Enable: turns Dropbox uploading on/off
- Dropbox App Key / Secret: paste from Dropbox app settings, then Save
- Connect Dropbox: signs in and authorizes the account
- Store Files In
- Personal (home): writes to your personal Dropbox space
- Team space (root): for Dropbox Business/team folders
- Dropbox Base Folder
- Enter a real Dropbox folder path, e.g. /Team Content/ImpactDesigner/Orders
- Use download links (dl=1) (checkbox)
- On: links download immediately
- Off: links open in Dropbox preview (view links)
Notes / troubleshooting
- path/no_write_permission usually means you’re writing to a folder you can’t edit, or your app is “App folder” but you’re targeting a team folder.
- If you change app type/scopes, Disconnect and Connect again.
