Hello Pabbly Connect Support Team,
I’m experiencing an intermittent issue with the Dropbox trigger “New File” in Pabbly Connect.
Problem summary
When a new file appears in a specific Dropbox folder, the workflow sometimes fails on the first execution while trying to generate a shareable link. If I go to Task History and click Re-execute, it then runs successfully.
Error shown (Task History → Data Out → Res2 Response)
“Error in call to API function ‘sharing/create_shared_link’: Inval…”
Example task details
The workflow should complete successfully on the first run and return the shareable link.
Actual behavior
The first run shows the error above (sometimes the step still appears as “Success”, but the response contains the error). Re-executing immediately after works.
My suspicion
This looks like a timing/race condition (e.g., the file triggers the workflow before Dropbox fully finalizes the file or allows sharing). A short delay or an automatic retry on the sharing/create_shared_link call might resolve it.
Could you please investigate and advise:
Thanks,
Bruno

Could you please investigate and advise:
- if this is a known issue in the Dropbox integration, and
- if there’s a recommended workaround (delay step, retry setting, different action, etc.)?
Thanks,
Bruno
