Dropbox to API Error

I have a workflow where I want to extract the text from a .txt file each time a new one is added to a dropbox folder. The first step is to check for a new file in a specific dropbox folder.

In step 2, I use API GET with the share link:

Every time I hit "Save and Send Test Request" the automation works PERFECTLY.

The output is the content of the text file.

When I run the automation, however, the link is not correctly added to the API step.

For some reason the test works but the automation fails when I'm not running it manually.

If the workflow works when I test it, it should work when it runs automatically. Can you please fix this glitch?

Hello @JonathanDragonDJ

We have made a small change to step 2 of your workflow (API - Pabbly). The "shareable link" field has been replaced with the "URL" field, and we’ve added "&raw=1" after it. Please run a few tests and let us know if it works for you.
