Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to automating workflows, but I wanted to share how I got Opus Clip to watch a Dropbox folder. It saves me from manually uploading files.

I created a specific folder in my Dropbox called "To_Clip". Then I used the Dropbox "Watch" feature on my Linux server (I followed a guide for `inotifywait`). Now, when I drop a video into that folder, it triggers a script that sends the file to Opus via their API. It's not perfect, but it works for my basic needs! Has anyone else tried something similar? I'd love to hear if there's a simpler way 😅
