Module settings

For every module, you need to configure its settings. For example, the Dropbox modules require you to specify the target folder to upload files to. For the Email modules, you need to enter the email address where to send emails. Every setting is individual for each module.

Besides the module settings, you can also adjust settings for a scenario. You can rename your scenario, change its schedule, and specify additional settings, to name a few.
