Happy Scribe Overview#

The Happy Scribe API provides tools for converting speech to text and vice versa, enabling developers to automate the transcription and subtitling of audio and video files. With the Happy Scribe integration on Pipedream, you can create workflows that trigger on various events, process content, and connect to other apps. Automate transcription jobs, sync transcripts to databases, notify teams when transcriptions are ready, or even analyze text for insights.

Dropbox Overview#

The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Dropbox	`dropbox`	`app`	This component uses the Dropbox app.
Path	`path`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
File Paths or URLs	`filesPaths`	`string[]`	Provide an array of either file URLs or paths to a files in the /tmp directory (for example, /tmp/myFile.pdf).
File Names	`filenames`	`string[]`	An array of filenames for the new files. Please provide a name for each URL and/or Path. Make sure to include the file extensions.
Autorename	`autorename`	`boolean`	If there's a conflict, have Dropbox try to autorename the file to avoid the conflict.
