Automate File Sharing and Metadata Logging from Google Drive to Airtable
This workflow automatically retrieves new files from a specified Google Drive folder, shares them via email, and logs their metadata into Airtable for streamlined file management and tracking.
The workflow begins by monitoring a specific folder in Google Drive for newly uploaded files. Once a file is detected, it is shared with a designated recipient via email. Simultaneously, the file's metadata, including its name, ID, creation time, and modification time, is recorded in Airtable. This process ensures efficient file distribution and centralized metadata tracking, enhancing organizational efficiency.
