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, you can automatically save project-related data to OneDrive, eliminating the need to create folders and potentially reducing work time.

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, 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 responses.
As a result, you may be able to prevent delays in response or discrepancies in understanding with customers.

Benefit 3: Create Unified Folders

By using Bubble to automatically create folders in OneDrive when starting a new project or transaction, 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, each representative can create folders in the same format, potentially enabling unified folder creation.
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 how to set up the following template: "Create a folder in OneDrive when a Thing is created in Bubble."
Using this template is convenient as it eliminates the need to set up automation from scratch.

The integration flow is broadly divided into the following processes:

Register Bubble and OneDrive as My Apps
Copy the template
Set the trigger in Bubble that initiates 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 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 as My Apps in advance, you can smoothly set up automation.

First, let's 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 list of apps.

When 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.
Search for OneDrive in the same way as before or find it from the list.
When the following screen is displayed, 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" → Check the description and set accordingly

After completing the settings, click "Test" and "Test Successful" will be displayed.
Scroll down 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, Bubble output is required, 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 home 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 down and set the "Parent Folder Item ID" and "Parent Folder Name" as per the instructions.

Next, use the Bubble output to set the "Folder Name".
Click the arrow within the red frame to display the output.
The output you set earlier will be displayed within the red frame below, so select the output you wish 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 is operating correctly.

Other Automation Examples Using Bubble

1. A flow that automatically notifies Google Chat when a Thing is created in Bubble.
When a Thing is created in Bubble, a notification is sent to Google Chat, allowing for quick verification of the created Thing.
By setting the Google Chat notification destination to stakeholders, information can be shared smoothly.

2. This is a flow for automatically registering responses from Google Forms into Bubble.
Since the data answered in Google Forms can be automatically registered in Bubble, transcription work becomes unnecessary.
Data is synchronized automatically, preventing input errors and omissions.

3. This is a flow where rows added in Google Sheets are automatically added to Bubble.
When data is added to Google Sheets, it is automatically reflected in Bubble, allowing for speedy data sharing.
Since manual registration is not required, it may reduce working time.

Summary

By utilizing the automation flow introduced this time, you can easily create folders and organize documents on a daily basis.
Since folders can be automatically created based on transaction data and customer data registered in Bubble, you can save the effort of manually organizing files.
Additionally, since all project or transaction stakeholders can view the same data, it will be easier to hand over tasks.
Furthermore, as data can be stored in predetermined folder locations, the risk of data loss can also be prevented.

Automation using Yoom is available to anyone without the need for code input.
