Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Function" from AWS Lambda.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Add Folder Member" in Dropbox.

Practical ways you can use AWS Lambda and Dropbox
Run Lambda code on new Dropbox files
When a new file is created in a specific Dropbox folder, Zapier triggers an AWS Lambda function to run custom processing scripts, such as transcoding video files or analyzing datasets. This workflow reduces manual monitoring and accelerates development cycles.
Set up automations to trigger when a new folder is created in Dropbox. This will initiate an AWS Lambda function that's configured to perform custom tasks, like categorizing or processing the contents. This minimizes manual intervention and boosts efficiency.
Level up your AWS Lambda to Dropbox integration with AI. Extract, summarize, and transform your integration data with leading AI models like OpenAI, Anthropic, and more.
AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs your code in response to events and automatically manages the compute resources for you, making it easy to build applications that respond quickly to new information.
Dropbox lets you store your files online, sync them to all your devices, and share them easily. Get started for free, then upgrade for more space and security features.
