With Walls.io, you can automatically import images from any Dropbox folder onto your Wall. It's easy to achieve this with our Zapier integration. This step-by-step guide explains how it's done.
​
​🚨 Important: This integration requires access to the Walls.io API, which can be purchased as an add-on for all plans. API access is also included in our Enterprise plans and some legacy plans.

To get started, sign in to your Dropbox account if you haven't already.
​
​

Create a new folder in your Dropbox (or in a directory, which is synced with your Dropbox) and remember its name. Then, upload one image to that folder.
​
❗️ Please note: It's necessary to upload just one image for now in order to establish a proper connection between Dropbox & Zapier. Upload additional images only after the Zap has been created!
​
The supported image formats are:

Log in to your Walls.io account and go to Settings > API and activate the access token: 👇
​

In Zapier, start to create your "Zap" by clicking "Make a Zap" (a Zap is kind of a "recipe" that will connect two apps, in our case Dropbox and Walls.io). Enter a name for your Zap, i.e. "Dropbox to Walls.io". Choose Dropbox for the trigger app and "New File in Folder" as the trigger event:👇
​

Then, choose your Dropbox account and click "Continue". You'll have to "Sign in to Dropbox" if this is your first Zap using Dropbox:👇
​
​

Next, set up the trigger by selecting the folder you've created in step 2 and set "Yes" for "Include file contents":👇
​

Afterwards, click "Test trigger":👇

and then click "Continue": 👇

Next, we're going to set up the Zapier action. Choose Walls.io for the app event and "Create Post" as the Action event:👇
​
​

Afterwards, connect your Walls.io account this way: 👇
Click "Choose an account" and then, click "Connect a new account"

You'll see a new window where you can insert the API access token of your social Wall. Copy the API access token of your Wall from step 3 and paste it into the Access Token field:

Next, set up the Zapier action by adding a name for the User Name field. Make sure to fill out the Image field with File (Exists but not shown). 👇 If you do not want to show the username on your wall, you can always hide it with a custom CSS snippet, which you can find in this article.
​
​

Select "True" for "Moderation Status" if you want to set your wall to Automatic Moderation. If you prefer to have Manual Moderation (=approve each post manually before it gets displayed on your social Wall), select "False".
​
​

Finally, test your Zap and turn it on:👇
