For example, when a new project or client is added, the task of manually creating folders and organizing data is automated. As a result, employees are freed from manual folder creation, which also reduces human error. Additionally, since the folder creation process is standardized, it becomes easier to understand where information is managed, enabling clear file management. This can improve overall work speed and avoid duplication of tasks, allowing more time to be dedicated to important tasks. Data Organization and Project Management Efficiency: As work progresses, data management for each project tends to become complicated.

This may make it easier to track project progress and improve accessibility to necessary information. Particularly, data sharing among team members becomes more efficient, potentially enhancing project management efficiency.

The accumulation of routine tasks may waste time and affect employee motivation. By implementing a system that automatically creates folders in Google Drive when a Thing is created in Bubble, employees may be freed from unnecessary tasks and able to focus on more creative and valuable work. As a result, it could reduce the workload for all team members and lead to improved work quality. Let's use Yoom to actually integrate Bubble and Google Drive! [What is Yoom] How to Create a Bubble and Google Drive Integration Flow This time, we will work together to create an integration flow where "a folder is created in Google Drive when a Thing is created in Bubble."

The integration flow is broadly divided into the following processes.

・Register Bubble and Google Drive as My Apps
・Copy the template
・Set the trigger in Bubble, which serves as the starting point of the flow, and then configure the subsequent operations in Google Drive
・Turn on the trigger button and verify the integration operation between Bubble and Google Drive

If you are not using Yoom, please register for free here.
If you are already using Yoom, please log in.

Step 1: Integrate Bubble and Google Drive as My Apps

Let's start by registering the apps you will use as My Apps.
Registering them in advance will make the flow setup smoother.

First, let's register Bubble as a My App.
Access the My Menu on the left side of the Yoom screen and press the new connection button on the right side of the screen.

Next, enter Bubble in the search window and select "Bubble" from the displayed options.
The following screen will be displayed, so proceed with the input.

"Account Name" → Set it as you like
"Access Token" → Log in to Bubble, go to settings, and proceed to API to set it
"Subdomain" → Check and set it from the app URL

Once the settings are complete, click "Add" to finish.

Next, register Google Drive as a My App.
Similarly, enter Google Drive in the search window and select "Google Drive" from the displayed options.
The following screen will be displayed, so click "Sign in with Google".

The account selection screen will be displayed, so select the account you want to use for the integration.

The following screen will be displayed, so check the contents and click "Next".

You will be asked to access Yoom, so check the contents and click "Continue" to complete.

If Bubble and Google Drive are displayed in My Apps, registration is complete.

Step 2: Set the Bubble "When a Thing is Created" Trigger

Let's proceed with the automation settings from here.
Click "Try it" on the banner below to copy the flow bot.

When you click, an image like the one below will appear, so press OK.

When the following screen is displayed, check the "Title" and "Description".
If changes are necessary, click on the relevant part to make changes.
To set up Bubble initially, click "When a Thing is created".

After clicking, proceed with the following settings.

"Title" → Can be changed if necessary
"Account information linked with Bubble" → Verify if the account is correct
"Trigger action" → When a Thing is created, a row is added

Once the settings are complete, click "Next".

When the following screen is displayed, proceed with the detailed settings.

"Trigger interval" → Set as desired
*Triggers can be set at intervals of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Please note that the shortest trigger interval varies depending on the plan.
"Data type name" → Set the target data type

Once the settings are complete, execute "Test", and if successful, click "Save" to finish.

Step 3: Set up the Google Drive "Create Folder" action

Next, proceed with the Google Drive settings.
When you click "Create Folder", the following screen will be displayed, so proceed with the settings below.

"Title" → Can be changed if necessary
"Account information linked with Google Drive" → Verify if the account is correct
"Action" → Create a folder

Once the settings are complete, click "Next".

When the following screen is displayed, proceed with the detailed settings.
First, enter the name of the folder to be created.

This time, let's assume that the ID of the Thing added in Bubble will be used as the folder name.
The ID changes for each Thing, so it needs to be varied each time a folder is created.
What we will use here is "Output".
By using this, you can respond to changing values each time.
*For more details about Output, please see here.

In the Bubble trigger action screen, it is also possible to manually add arbitrary values to the output.
Try using it according to your needs.
*For the method of obtaining output using JSON PATH, please see here.

Scroll through the screen and specify the folder to store the created folder.
Click the field to enter the "Destination folder ID" to display candidates from the linked Google account.
Select from them and add the value.

Execute "Test", and if successful, click "Save" to finish.

Step 4: Verify the automation operation between Bubble and Google Drive

Finally, click "Turn on Trigger" to complete the automation settings.
Verify whether the flowbot is correctly activated.

Other Automation Examples Using Bubble

There are many other examples of automation using Bubble in Yoom, so here are a few.

1.Registering responses from Google Forms into Bubble

The first example is a flow that creates a Thing from Google Forms responses. By using a form for Thing creation, it seems possible to eliminate the manual creation of Things.

2.Notify Google Chat when a Thing is created in Bubble
