Use the "Upload a Scheduled Report to Dropbox" Workflow recipe to automatically deliver your scheduled reports to your connected Dropbox account.

Schedule periodic Template-based reports with GoFormz reports. Because your reports change as your Form User’s submit Forms, you’ll want to run regular reports to track any changes. Use this recipe to automatically upload those reports to Dropbox.

Set up this Workflow recipe in the GoFormz web app’s Workflows tab. Here you’ll click Create to navigate to the Workflow Recipes Library where you’ll complete the following steps:

  1. Select the Schedule Report Upload to Dropbox recipe.
    You’ll navigate to the Workflow Recipe Builder.

  2. Click the pencil icon next to the default Workflow name.
    Enter a Workflow name.

    Note: GoFormz recommends that you include the report name used in the Workflow in your Workflow name.

  3. Establish your Schedule trigger to determine when you want your reports to run.
    Your options include daily, weekly, or monthly.

    Click Next.

  5. Establish your Upload File action.
    This will include establishing your Connection and Dropbox Destination Folder..
