About This Workflow
Overview
This workflow automates the process of monitoring a Google Drive folder for new files. When a new file is detected, it is automatically shared via email to a specified recipient and its metadata is logged into an Airtable base. This ensures efficient file sharing and centralized tracking of important file information.
Key Features
- Detects new files in a specified Google Drive folder.
- Shares new files via email with a designated recipient.
- Logs file metadata (ID, name, creation time, modification time, recipient ID) into Airtable.
- Includes error handling for robust execution.
How To Use
- Set up a Google Drive trigger to watch a specific folder.
- Configure the 'Share File with Recipient' node with the desired email address and permissions.
- Configure the Airtable node with your base and table credentials and map the desired file metadata fields.
- Ensure Google Drive and Airtable credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
