can't find "File Requests API"

Add another +1 vote for an API to create a file request and also to upload a file to the newly created fie request folder. Below is my scenario.

I'm the web developer for a small graduate school. The website includes an online application form. Besides the form, an applicant must also submit an essay, letters of reference, and official transcripts. Once everything has been submitted, a committee of 5 faculty review all the documents and make a decision regarding admission.

When an application is submitted online, I'd like to automate the following:

1. save the form data to a database, assign an ID number, and create a PDF of the application;
2. create a File Request in Dropbox using the ID number as the folder name and grant the committee members access to view the documents;
3. upload the PDF of the application form to the newly created File Request folder;
4. send an email to the applicant and to each of the people who will be writing references with a link to the newly created File Request folder;
5. send an email to the committee members with a link to view the documents in the newly created File Request folder.

Step one is already automated, but for now we will have to manually do steps 2-5. It would be immensely helpful if the API provided a way for us to automate the whole process. That way the folder would be created, the emails sent, and the references received without any delay, waiting on staff intervention. 

I can't stress enough how useful this feature would be!
