How Do I Back Up Feedspace Testimonials to Dropbox with n8n?

Overview

Connect Feedspace to Dropbox via n8n to automatically save each new testimonial file to a Dropbox folder. This provides an off-platform backup and makes testimonials easy to share with your team.

Automation through webhooks is available on Professional and Business plans in Feedspace.

Step 1: Create a workflow in n8n

1. Log in to your n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted). On the home screen, click Build a workflow.
2. Click the workflow name My workflow at the top to rename it, e.g., Feedspace to Dropbox Backup.

Step 2: Add a webhook trigger node

1. Click Add first step…
2. A panel opens showing “What triggers this workflow?”. Select On webhook call.
3. In the Webhook node panel, change HTTP Method from GET to POST.
4. Click the Production URL tab and copy the webhook URL — you will need this in the next step.

Step 3: Register the webhook in Feedspace

1. Log in to your Feedspace dashboard and click Automation in the left sidebar.
2. Click the Webhook tab.
3. Click Create Webhook and paste your n8n URL into the Endpoint URL field.
4. Click Create Webhook to save. All available events are subscribed by default.
5. Click Activate in the Action column on the new webhook row to start sending event data to n8n.

Step 4: (Optional) Download the file first

To upload the actual video file to Dropbox, add an HTTP Request node to download it first:

1. Click + and add an HTTP Request node.
2. Set Method to GET, map the URL to {{ $json.file_url }}, and set Response Format to File.

Step 5: Add a Dropbox node

1. Click + to add an action node.
2. Search for Dropbox, click it, and select Upload a file from the Actions panel.
3. Click Connect to Dropbox to connect your Dropbox account.
4. Set the Path to your target folder, for example: /Feedspace/Video Testimonials/{{ $json.reviewer_name }}-{{ $json.created_at }}.mp4.
5. Map the Binary Data from the HTTP Request node.

Step 6: Test and activate the workflow

In the Webhook node panel, click Listen for test event, then submit a test testimonial in Feedspace. Confirm the file appears in your Dropbox folder. Once confirmed, click Publish in the top right. New Feedspace testimonials will now automatically save to your Dropbox.

What’s next

Once your workflow is active, you can adjust the file naming pattern in the Dropbox node’s Path field or organize files into subfolders by adding more dynamic values from the webhook payload.

Common questions

Do I need to download the file before uploading to Dropbox?

Only if you want to store the actual video file. If you only need to save the testimonial metadata (name, rating, text), you can skip the HTTP Request node and write the data directly using the Dropbox Create File or Write operation.

What file format does Feedspace provide for video testimonials?

Feedspace provides a URL to the video file in the webhook payload via the file_url field. The format depends on how the testimonial was recorded.

Can I save testimonials to a shared Dropbox folder?

Yes. Set the Path in the Dropbox node to point to any folder in your Dropbox, including shared folders.
