About this article
Save time by uploading documents directly from Vendr workflows to a Dropbox folder. This article covers the process of installing the Dropbox integration for use in Automations.
How it works
Vendr's Dropbox integration streamlines document management by automatically uploading documents from Vendr workflows to a designated folder. When a document is uploaded to Vendr, it triggers an automation to sync the document to your specified Google Drive folder, ensuring all your important documents are securely stored and organized in one place. You can easily create automation rules to configure which document types are synced and to which folders in just a few clicks.
Common uses of the Dropbox integration
Backup signed agreement (NDA, MSA, order form)
Effortlessly store all your documents in one secure Dropbox folder. This ensures easy access and organization, keeping all your important files in a single, protected spot.
Maintain Your Centralized Data Governance Process
Upload all your supplier documents to your file storage system to ensure adherence to your data governance strategy and content lifecycle management, reducing risk and maintaining compliance.
Share Documents with External Collaborators and Teams Outside of Vendr
Easily provide access to documents for teams and users who are not in Vendr or are external collaborators. Securely share specific files and folders with outside parties, ensuring they have the necessary permissions to view, edit, or comment on documents.
