This time, we'll proceed with the setup using Yoom, a no-code platform. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please create one using the registration form here.

[What is Yoom]

This time, we will create a flow bot that sends files via Gmail when they are uploaded to Google Drive!

The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps:

  • Integrate Google Drive and Gmail with My Apps
  • Copy the template
  • Set up the trigger in Google Drive and the action in Gmail
  • Turn on the trigger and check the operation

Step 1: Connect Google Drive and Gmail to My App

First, connect Google Drive and Gmail to My App.
After logging into Yoom, click "Add" from "My App" in the left menu.

[For Google Drive]

(1) Search for "Google Drive" and select Google Drive from the list of apps.

(2) Click "Sign in with Google".

(3) Enter the Gmail email address and password you want to connect with Yoom.
Click "Next" on the [Sign in to Yoom] screen.

(4) Click "Continue".

This completes the app connection for Google Drive.

[For Gmail]

(1) Search for "Gmail" and select Gmail from the list of apps.

(2) Click "Sign in with Google".

(3) Enter the Gmail email address and password you want to connect with Yoom.
Click "Next" on the [Sign in to Yoom] screen.

(4) Click "Continue".

This completes the My App connection for Gmail.

Step 2: Copy the Template

Once the My App connection is complete, let's set up the template right away.
Click "Try it" on the banner below to copy the template.

When the template is copied to Yoom, the following screen will be displayed, so press "OK".

Step 3: Setting up Google Drive Triggers

(1) Click on "When a new file or folder is created in a specific folder" at the top of the template.

(2) Select the Google Drive account information linked in "Account information linked with Google Drive" and click "Next".

(3) Select the trigger interval from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
It is generally recommended to set the shortest time.
※ The interval varies depending on your plan, so please be careful.

(4) Set the ID of the folder to be activated by the flowbot in "Folder ID".
A list of folders in the linked Google Drive will be displayed in "Options", so click on the folder name to be operated. The folder ID will be entered automatically.

(5) Click "Test" to run the test and check if the file information in the folder set in "Retrieved value" is extracted.

If there are no problems, click "Save" to complete the setup.

Step 4: Setting up File Download

(1) Click on "Download File" in the template.

(2) Check the contents here as well and proceed to the next step.

(3) Set the file ID obtained in Step 3 in "File ID".
By selecting "File ID" in "When a new file or folder is created in a specific folder" in "Retrieved Value", you can automatically quote the file ID.

(4) When the test is executed successfully, a file named "Untitled" will be downloaded.
Click "Download" to download the file and check if it is the same file obtained in Step 3.

If there are no problems, click "Save" to complete the setup.

Step 5: Setting up Email Sending with Gmail

(1) Click on "Send Email" in the template.

(2) Select the Gmail account information linked in "Linked Account".

(3) In "Email Content", first set the following:

  • From: Enter the email address to be the sender (if not set, the email address linked with Yoom will be used)
  • To: Enter the recipient's email address
    For example, if you want to use it for internal sharing, it is good to set the internal email address you want to share.
  • CC/BCC: Enter if there are email addresses you want to send to other than "To"
  • Sender's Name: Enter the sender's name (if not set, the Gmail email address linked with Yoom will be displayed)

(4) Next, set the following:

  • Subject: Enter the subject when sending the email
  • Body: Set the email content as desired (you can quote "File Name" obtained from "Retrieved Value" in the previous item)
    For items obtained by the trigger, please select from the retrieved value.

(5) By setting the attachment to "Use Retrieved Valuet" and "File Retrieved from Google Drive", you can automatically attach the file obtained in Step 3 to the email.

Once the setup is complete, click "Next".

(6) Check the email sending content.
If there are no problems, click "Test".

(7) Once "Test Successful" is displayed, check if the email has actually been sent.

Once you have confirmed that it has been sent successfully, click "Save" to complete the setup.

Step 6: Turn on the Trigger and Check Operation

This completes all the settings.
After completing the setup, a pop-up like the one below will be displayed, so turn on the trigger.
Check if the flow is working properly!
