Would you like to automate the management of customer and partner data?
By integrating Bubble with OneDrive, sharing and managing data will become easier.
In this article, we will introduce how to automatically create a folder in OneDrive when a new Thing is created in Bubble.
This can be expected to improve work speed and efficiency.

Recommended for

  • Those who are using Bubble and OneDrive and want to integrate them to improve work efficiency
  • Office staff who share customer data on OneDrive and feel the complexity of folder management
  • Those who are creating folders in OneDrive using information from Bubble but are struggling with transcription errors due to manual work

Benefits and Examples of Integrating Bubble and OneDrive

Benefit 1: Reduce Work Time

Integrating Bubble with OneDrive may reduce work time.
For example, when you register a new project in Bubble, you can create a folder for each project in OneDrive.
This way, <span class="mark-yellow">you can automatically save data related to the project in OneDrive, eliminating the need to create folders and reducing work time.</span>

Benefit 2: Easier Access to Data

By adding new customer information to Bubble and implementing a system to automatically create folders in OneDrive, you can save data for each customer in OneDrive.
For example, by consolidating policyholder documents and inquiry data in Bubble at an insurance agency, you can automatically create folders in OneDrive.
Therefore, <span class="mark-yellow">if a customer suddenly makes an inquiry, even someone other than the person in charge can check past documents by simply looking at the customer's folder, allowing for smooth handling.</span>
As a result, it may prevent delays in response and discrepancies in understanding with customers.

Benefit 3: Create Unified Folders

By automatically creating folders in OneDrive using Bubble when starting new projects or transactions, you can consistently organize project or transaction information.
For example, when a sales representative registers customer information in Bubble, a folder using the customer's name can be automatically created in OneDrive.
This way, <span class="mark-yellow">each representative can create folders in the same format, possibly enabling unified folder creation.</span>
This automation is recommended for those struggling with organizing transaction or customer information.

We will introduce the automation method using Yoom by integrating Bubble and OneDrive.

[What is Yoom]

How to Create a Bubble and OneDrive Integration Flow

This time, we will introduce the setting method for the following template: "Create a folder in OneDrive when a Thing is created in Bubble."
By using this template, you don't need to set up automation from scratch, which is convenient.

The integration flow is broadly created through the following processes. Register Bubble and OneDrive as My Apps. Copy the template. Set up the trigger in Bubble, which serves as the starting point of the flow, and configure the subsequent operations in OneDrive. Turn on the trigger button and verify the integration between Bubble and OneDrive. If you are not using Yoom, please register for free from here. If you are already using Yoom, please log in. Step 1: Register Bubble and OneDrive as My Apps. Register Bubble and OneDrive as My Apps to connect them to Yoom. By registering My Apps in advance, you can smoothly set up automation. First, register Bubble as My App. Click "My Apps" → "New Connection" on the left side of the Yoom screen. Search for Bubble in the search bar or find it from the app list. Once the following screen is displayed, check the explanation and set the "Account Name," "Access Token," and "Subdomain." Next, proceed to register OneDrive as My App. Similarly, search for OneDrive or find it from the list. The following screen will be displayed, so sign in to OneDrive. Once both My App registrations are complete, Bubble and OneDrive will be displayed. Step 2: Copy the Template. To set up automation, click "Try it" on the banner below.

Read the following screen display and click "OK".

When the following screen is displayed, check the "Title" and "Description".
If changes are necessary, make them on the following screen.
First, click "When a Thing is created" to proceed with the Bubble settings.

Step 3: Setting the Bubble Trigger as the Starting Point of the Flow and the Subsequent OneDrive Operation

The following screen will be displayed, so please check the settings.

  • "Title" → Can be freely changed
  • "Account information linked with Bubble" → Check for accuracy
  • "Trigger Action" → When a Thing is created

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

  • "Trigger Interval" → Choose from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes
    *Note that the trigger interval varies depending on the plan.
  • "Data Type Name" → Set after confirming the description

After completing the settings, click "Test" and "Test Successful" will be displayed.
Scroll to check the response results of the data registered in Bubble.
Based on these response results, create the Bubble output.
To create a folder name in OneDrive based on Bubble data, the Bubble output is necessary, so refer to this help page and register.
Once the output settings are complete, click "Save".

Next, to set up folder creation in OneDrive, click "Create Folder".
*Note that Microsoft365 (formerly Office365) has both personal and business plans (Microsoft365 Business), and authentication may fail if you are not subscribed to a business plan.

The following screen will be displayed, so please check the settings.

  • "Title" → Can be freely changed
  • "Account information linked with OneDrive" → Check for accuracy
  • "Action" → Create Folder

When the following screen is displayed, select the "Drive ID" from the options below.
Click within the frame to display the options.

Scroll and set the "Parent Folder Item ID" and "Parent Folder Name" as described.

Next, use the Bubble output to set the "Folder Name".
Click the arrow within the red frame to display the output.
The output set earlier will be displayed within the red frame below, so select the output you want to use.
As an example, a folder name using the Thing ID is set.
This is just an example, so feel free to set it as you like.
Once the settings are complete, click "Test" → "Test Successful" → "Save".

Step 4: Turn ON the Trigger Button and Verify the Integration Operation between Bubble and OneDrive

Finally, click "Turn ON Trigger" to complete the automation settings.
Check if the flow bot starts up correctly.

I've been working as a writer since my job in child welfare, and I'm currently writing a blog on Yoom. While being surprised by the work efficiency improvements that can be made with Yoom, I would like to share that excitement with everyone and contribute to society. I'll tell you about application integration and automation that even I, who has zero programming knowledge, can do.
