What it does

When your HR or IT system posts an offboarding webhook for a leaving employee, this workflow locates every Dropbox team-folder membership and every shared link they created, removes their access, transfers or kills their links, and reports exactly what was revoked.

When to use it

Use it the moment someone leaves so their lingering folder access and personal share links don't survive the deprovisioning gap. It targets one person on demand rather than waiting for a scheduled sweep, closing the riskiest window fast.

How it works

  1. 1An HR/IT system sends an offboarding webhook carrying the employee's email.
  2. 2The flow searches all team folders for that user's memberships.
  3. 3It also lists shared links the user created across the account.
  4. 4A branch decides whether each item is removed outright or its ownership reassigned to the manager.
  5. 5Dropbox removes the memberships and revokes the user's links.
  6. 6A completion summary listing every revoked item is emailed to the offboarding requester via Outlook.
