"content": "## Dropbox to DocuPipe to Slack\n\nAutomatically extract structured data from files uploaded to Dropbox using [DocuPipe](https://docupipe.ai) AI and post formatted results to Slack.\n\n### Who is this for?\nTeams that collect documents in Dropbox (invoices, receipts, forms) and want instant Slack notifications with the extracted data - great for invoice processing, receipt tracking, or any document workflow where visibility matters.\n\n### How it works\nThis template contains two connected flows:\n\n**Scenario 1 - Upload:** Polls a Dropbox folder every minute for new files, filters for recently added documents, downloads them, and uploads to DocuPipe for extraction.\n\n**Scenario 2 - Notify:** When DocuPipe finishes extracting, the webhook fires, results are fetched, formatted into a readable Slack message with field labels and values, and posted to your channel.\n\n### How to set up\n1. Connect your **Dropbox** account\n2. Set the **folder path** to watch in the List Dropbox Folder node\n3. Sign up at [docupipe.ai](https://docupipe.ai), then get your **DocuPipe API key** at [app.docupipe.ai/settings/general](https://app.docupipe.ai/settings/general)\n4. Select an extraction **schema** in the Upload node\n5. Connect your **Slack** account and select the target channel\n6. Activate this workflow\n\n### Requirements\n- A [DocuPipe](https://docupipe.ai) account with an API key\n- A Dropbox account\n- A Slack workspace with bot permissions\n- An extraction schema configured in DocuPipe\n\n**Note:** Requires the [DocuPipe community node](https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-docupipe). Install via Settings > Community Nodes."
