Zapier - 409 error path/not found
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to get the meta data for a file so I can access the "shared_folder_id" and then add a member (or group if possible) to that folder. It's on a team folder.
I'm using...
It looks like you meant to call /2/files/get_metadata, but based on the error message in the response body you actually called /2/sharing/get_folder_metadata (which takes different parameters, and so the call failed). Make sure you've configured that to call /2/files/get_metadata if that's what you intended.
Hi Greg,
That's for clearing up the shared_id vs parent_shared_ID.
In step 1, I'm getting a specific file location. It's a dropbox/zapier event that returns the following:
- ID: (ex. id:somerandomechars23432)
- Path: (ex. /baseroot/subfolder1/subfolder2
- ShareLink: (http: link we use to share for our clients)
- is deleted: t/f
- is shared: t/f
- no access: t/f
- is dir: t/f
So, I have found a folder "ID", but not the "shared_folder_id" which seems necessary for the add_folder_member api call. I'm then trying to pull the meta data from that "ID", so I can get the shared_folder_Id to be used in add_folder_member.
I think my issue is showing that the get_meta_data is returning a error 400 even though Zapier is saying it went through correctly. (not sure though). Pictures below to show what I put it, and what came out. (Not sure why they are posted backwards, but I couldn't change it.)
Thanks again for all the help!

Hi Greg,
That helped fix that error. I can't believe I missed that! I'm still getting the none type issue on the next step, but I have a feeling it's time to ask Zapier what's going on, because passing a hardcoded variable is still showing the same thing.
Thanks so much for your help!Did you end up figuring this out? I am also receiving this error, though it seems like the action is successful ("Dropbox folder is shared properly").
Not entirely. Which specific issue are you having, because I had a few coupled together.
If you send over what you have and I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can help get you to the next step.
