How Do I Back Up Feedspace Testimonials to Dropbox with Make?

Overview

Connect Feedspace to Dropbox via Make to automatically save each new testimonial file to a Dropbox folder. This gives you a continuous off-platform backup and makes testimonials easy to share with your team.

Note: Automation through Make is available only on Professional and Business Plans in Feedspace, and requires an API key for connection.

Step 1: Create a Scenario in Make

1. Log in to Make and click + Create a new scenario.
2. Give your scenario a name, e.g., Feedspace to Dropbox Backup.
3. Click +, search for Feedspace, and select Watch New Testimonials.
4. Click Add, enter your Feedspace Automation Secret Key, then click Save.
   • To find this key: go to your Feedspace workspace → Automation → API tab → copy the Automation Secret Key.
5. Click OK to confirm the trigger.

Step 2: (Optional) Filter for Video Testimonials Only

1. Click the line between the trigger and the next module to add a Filter.
2. Set the condition: Testimonial Type → Equal to → Video.
3. Only video testimonials will proceed to the Dropbox upload step.

Step 3: Connect Dropbox

1. Click + to add an action module.
2. Search for Dropbox and select it.
3. Choose Upload a File as the action.
4. Click Add and sign in to your Dropbox account to authorise Make.

Step 4: Configure the Upload

1. Set the Folder Path in Dropbox, e.g., /Feedspace/Video Testimonials/.
2. Map the File URL from the Feedspace trigger to the Source File input.
3. (Optional) Set a dynamic File Name, for example: {{Reviewer Name}} - {{Created At}}.mp4.
4. Enable Auto Rename to avoid overwriting files with the same name.
5. Click OK to save the action.

Step 5: Test and Activate the Scenario

Click Run once to test. Once confirmed, toggle the scenario On. New Feedspace testimonials will now automatically save to your Dropbox folder.
