How Do I Back Up Feedspace Testimonials to Dropbox with Pabbly Connect?

Overview

Connect Feedspace to Dropbox via Pabbly Connect 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.

Automation through Pabbly Connect is available on Professional and Business plans in Feedspace, and requires an API key for connection.

Step 1: Create a workflow in Pabbly Connect

1. Log in to your Feedspace dashboard.
2. Click Automation in the left sidebar, then click the Automation tab.
3. Click the Copy button next to the Automation Secret Key field.
4. Log in to Pabbly Connect, click + Create Workflow, then select Create from Scratch.
5. Enter a Workflow Name (e.g., Feedspace to Dropbox Backup) in the Create Workflow dialog and click Create.
6. Click Add Trigger, search for Feedspace in the Choose App field and select it.
7. In the App Event dropdown, select New Testimonial.
8. Click Connect, select Add New Connection, enter a name in New Connection Name, paste your Automation Secret Key into the API Key field, then click Save.
9. Click Save & Send Test Request to confirm Pabbly Connect can fetch testimonial data from Feedspace.

Step 2: (Optional) Filter for video testimonials only

If you only want to back up video files, add a filter step:

1. Click + and add a Filter step.
2. Set the condition: Testimonial Type, Equals, Video.
3. Only video testimonials will proceed to the Dropbox upload step.

Step 3: Connect Dropbox

1. Click + to add an action step.
2. Search for Dropbox and select it.
3. In the App Event dropdown, select Upload File.
4. Click Connect, select Add New Connection, enter a name in New Connection Name, then sign in to your Dropbox account to authorize Pabbly Connect.

Step 4: Configure the upload

1. Set the File Path: the destination folder in Dropbox, e.g., /Feedspace/Video Testimonials/.
2. Map the File URL from the Feedspace trigger to the File input (the testimonial file URL).
3. (Optional) Set a dynamic File Name, for example:
   • {{Reviewer Name}} - {{Created At}}.mp4
4. Set Auto Rename to True to avoid overwriting files with the same name.
5. Click Test Step to verify the file saves to your Dropbox folder.

Step 5: Save and activate the workflow

After a successful test, click Save. New Feedspace testimonials will now automatically upload to your Dropbox folder.

Common questions

Where do I find the Automation Secret Key in Feedspace?

Log in to your Feedspace dashboard, click Automation in the left sidebar, then click the Automation tab. Click the Copy button next to the Automation Secret Key field.

Can I back up text testimonials as well as video?

Yes. Remove the filter step and the workflow will trigger for all testimonial types. For text testimonials, map the text content to a file field or use a different action (such as creating a document) instead of uploading a video file.

What happens if two testimonials have the same file name?

Setting Auto Rename to True in the Dropbox action prevents any file from being overwritten.
