FileDrop Integration

File request pages, tracked PDF sharing, and secure file delivery — create forms, pull and approve submissions, share password-protected PDFs, and send PIN-protected files. Turn FileDrop engagement into automated marketing workflows that keep leads and audiences moving. Start with Watch Events, then use Export Form Submissions and Get Form to trigger the next step.

Supported triggers and actions for FileDrop integration

Triggers can detect changes in FileDrop and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside FileDrop automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.

Watch EventsListen for FileDrop webhook events on file-request pages, PDF shares, or Secure Send messages.
Export Form SubmissionsExports all submissions for a file request form as a binary CSV or JSON file.
Get FormRetrieves a single file request form by its UUID.
Get PDF ShareRetrieves a PDF share by its UUID. Status Pending Verification means FileDrop is still processing; poll until Active to obtain the share_url.
Get Secure Send MessageRetrieves a Secure Send message by ID, including its upload status, share URL, and attached files.
Get SubmissionRetrieves a single form submission by its UUID.
List Form SubmissionsReturns a paginated list of submissions for a file request form.
List Form WebhooksReturns all webhooks configured for a specific file request form.
List FormsLists file-request pages for the connected FileDrop account.
List PDF Sharing WebhooksReturns a list of webhooks registered for PDF sharing events on the account.
List Secure Send MessagesSearches and returns a paginated list of Secure Send messages for the connected account.
List Secure Send WebhooksReturns all Secure Send webhooks registered on the connected account.
List User WebhooksReturns all user-level webhooks that apply across all forms in the account.
Approve SubmissionApproves a pending form submission, optionally attaching reviewer notes.
Create FormCreates a file-request page with a complete field set.
Create Form WebhookRegisters a webhook endpoint for submission events on a specific form.
Create PDF ShareCreates a tracked PDF share from one or more public file URLs. Returns immediately with status Pending Verification while FileDrop fetches the files asynchronously.
Create PDF Sharing WebhookCreates a webhook that notifies an endpoint when PDF sharing events occur.
Create Secure Send MessageCreates a new Secure Send message with PIN-protected file delivery and sends or saves it as a draft.
Create Secure Send WebhookCreates a new Secure Send webhook that notifies a URL when message events occur.
Create User WebhookRegisters a user-level webhook that fires for submission events across all forms in the account.
Delete FormPermanently deletes a file request form, including all of its fields and submissions.
Delete PDF Sharing WebhookPermanently deletes a PDF sharing webhook by its ID.
Delete Secure Send MessagePermanently deletes a Secure Send message by its ID.
Delete Secure Send WebhookPermanently deletes a Secure Send webhook by its ID.
Delete SubmissionPermanently deletes a form submission.
Delete WebhookDeletes a user-level or form-level webhook by ID.
Make an API CallPerforms an arbitrary authorized API request to the FileDrop API.
Reject SubmissionRejects a pending form submission, optionally attaching reviewer notes.
Update FormUpdates an existing file request form. The fields array replaces the entire field set — include the field id on existing rows to update them, omit it to add new ones.
Update PDF ShareUpdates an existing PDF share. The files field takes hosted-file identifiers (fileUuid, fileName, fileSize) — NOT public URLs as used in Create PDF Share.
Update Secure Send MessageUpdates an existing draft Secure Send message; sent messages cannot be updated and return a 403.

How to integrate FileDrop in automation workflow?

3 simple steps to make your FileDrop connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.

STEP 1

Select FileDrop in workflow

Pick FileDrop app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.

STEP 2

Connect FileDrop

When prompted, authorize access to FileDrop in WEXTL once. FileDrop credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].

WEXTL wants to integrate with your FileDrop account. Approve?

STEP 3

Build a workflow

Build your workflow with FileDrop yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect FileDrop to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

How FileDrop connects and integrates with WEXTL

Save and approve your credentials once — WEXTL® stores authorization information encrypted and reuses the authentication whenever FileDrop app is called in workflows. That allows your marketing automations to run without your attention, per defined schedule [7]. Explore documentation [6] for a detailed list of fields that FileDrop supports.

Full FileDrop API documentation

The following table illustrates what fields FileDrop integration require during authorization flow inside our workflow builder [4].

Demonstration of FileDrop connection step inside WEXTL Workflow Builder [4].

Field	Type	Help
API KeyRequired	password	In FileDrop: Settings → API. Paste the generated key.
Account EmailRequired	email	The account email the key was issued for (`X-USER-EMAIL`).

Connect FileDrop to popular apps on WEXTL

Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with FileDrop below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with FileDrop. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.

Example automation with FileDrop integration

Select Watch Events trigger from FileDrop - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in FileDrop, workflow will start [7] from Watch Events node.

Search for Create Form, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Events and Create Form, so only important data pass from Watch Events to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of FileDrop automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].

FileDrop on WEXTL has 32 modules for combining marketing automations. Explore FileDrop documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about automating FileDrop in your workflows.

FileDrop has 1 trigger, including "Watch Events". Triggers are start points of the workflow, and automations may start from them.

Integration has 31 actions, including "Export Form Submissions", "Get Form", and "Get PDF Share", and more. Refer to our FileDrop Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.

No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].

Yes. Connections are authenticated per account, credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation.

The FileDrop integration on WEXTL runs directly on its vendor public API — every field name, authentication method, and rate limit is controlled by FileDrop official API and covered in documentation [3]. WEXTL handles the request signing and pagination for you.

Absolutely. Where FileDrop provides native webhooks, you can use instant triggers to eliminate polling delay. For custom webhooks, WEXTL offers Custom Webhook node, so you can start automation whenever FileDrop or any other service sends event to webhook URL.

WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes for FileDrop inside the workflow builder [4]. You can also use built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) in pair with FileDrop modules to craft complex integration flows with branches, filtering, and conditional logic. There are absolutely no limits of what you can build.
