• 

  Connect Dropbox to IFTTT.

  Give IFTTT access to your Dropbox account, using Dropbox credentials.

• 

  Connect Slack to IFTTT.

Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.

• 

  Set up a Trigger action for Dropbox

  Choose the following trigger: New file in your folder (This Trigger fires every time any file is saved in the folder you specify. NOTE: will process up to 15 files per polling period.).

• 

  Then set up an Action for Slack

  Choose this action: Post to channel (This Action will post a message to the channel you choose in Slack.).

Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.

• 

  Customize data flow

• 

  Test the workflow and turn it on for production use

  Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Share files in Slack from a Dropbox folder!
