Sync New Files From Google Drive with Airtable
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automatically detects newly uploaded files in a specified Google Drive folder, shares them via email with designated recipients through Google Drive’s sharing permissions, and synchronizes detailed file metadata—including file name, file ID, creation time, modification time, and recipient email addresses—into an Airtable database. By seamlessly integrating Google Drive with Airtable, it significantly enhances the automation and traceability of file sharing and management.
Core Problems Addressed
- Reduces the tedious manual process of locating and sharing newly uploaded files
- Automates the file sharing workflow to prevent omissions or delays in sending
- Centralizes storage of file metadata for easy subsequent querying and management
- Ensures accurate file permission settings to achieve secure sharing
Use Cases
- Enterprises or teams that need to regularly share newly uploaded Google Drive files with specific members or clients
- Organizations requiring unified management and auditing of file sharing history and metadata
- Remote collaboration environments where automatic distribution of important files boosts work efficiency
- Integration with Airtable for file asset management and statistical analysis
Main Process Steps
- Use a Google Drive trigger to monitor newly created files in a specified folder.
- Automatically share the file by setting Google Drive sharing permissions and sending email notifications to predefined recipients.
- Write the file’s metadata (file name, file ID, creation time, modification time, and recipients) into an Airtable table for data archiving.
- Include detailed notes at each step to explain the logic, facilitating maintenance and future expansion.
