What it does

Reacts the moment a Dropbox shared link is created. If the link is public (no password, no domain restriction) and the target file lives in a sensitive folder, it raises an instant Slack alert and opens a Front conversation so the link can be reviewed within minutes rather than at the next audit.

When to use it

When you can't wait for a daily sweep — for example during an active compliance period, after an incident, or for high-risk teams (legal, finance, HR) where any new public link to confidential data needs immediate eyes.

How it works

  1. 1A Dropbox webhook fires when a shared link is created or its settings change.
  2. 2Fetch the link's current audience and the target file's path.
  3. 3A branch checks: is the audience public AND the path inside a watched sensitive folder? If not, exit quietly.
  4. 4Post a Slack message to the security channel with file, creator, and link, plus a revoke reminder.
  5. 5Open a Front conversation so the alert has an owned, trackable thread instead of a fleeting chat ping.
