Find the Dropbox context behind Jira changes
When an issue changes, search for related files and make useful matches easier to locate.
Trigger
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Action
Search File or Folder
Tool to search for files and folders in dropbox. use when you need to find an item by name or content, optionally within a specific path or with other filters, and paginate through results. example: search for 'report.docx' in the '/finance' folder.
