What it does

Once a quarter, this workflow inventories every external collaborator (anyone whose email is outside your domains) across all Dropbox team folders, asks each folder owner to confirm who still needs access, and revokes any external share the owner does not recertify before the deadline.

When to use it

Use it to satisfy access-review controls (SOC 2, ISO 27001) where external sharing must be periodically re-attested. It turns a painful spreadsheet exercise into an owner-driven approval loop with automatic cleanup of stale guests.

How it works

  1. 1A quarterly schedule starts the recertification cycle.
  2. 2Dropbox returns members for every team folder; the flow filters to external emails.
  3. 3A Coda doc is updated with one recert row per folder/collaborator, assigned to the owner.
  4. 4Owners mark each external collaborator keep or remove in Coda.
  5. 5A branch checks for rows still un-actioned past the deadline and treats them as remove.
  6. 6The flow revokes access for every remove decision in Dropbox and writes the final attestation record back to Coda.
