Resend Notifications
If notification emails were missed (e.g., due to a race condition), you can resend them for files modified after a given timestamp using the admin endpoint:
GET /admin/resend?since=2026-03-01T00:00:00Z
The since parameter should be an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp matching the Dropbox server_modified format (eg: 2026-03-01T00:00:00Z).
The endpoint will scan the monitored folder, download all files modified after the given timestamp, and resend the notification email with those files as attachments.
