Introduction

Automating daily repetitive tasks is crucial for improving work efficiency. Tasks such as managing employee information and creating folders can be time-consuming and prone to errors when done manually. In this article, we will introduce a method to automatically create employee folders by integrating Google Sheets and Google Drive. We will provide a detailed explanation of the steps that can be set up without any coding, so please read on until the end.

Those who regularly use Google Workspace (Google Sheets and Google Drive) in their work

Those who want to reduce the manual workload in managing employee information or project data

Those facing challenges in standardizing folder management rules and wish to improve information accessibility

Owners or managers of small to medium-sized enterprises looking to streamline information sharing between departments

Benefits and Examples of Integrating Google Sheets and Google Drive

Benefit 1: Efficiency through Reduction of Manual Work

By implementing a system that automatically creates folders in Google Drive when a row is added in Google Sheets, you can significantly reduce manual work. For example, HR personnel no longer need to manually create individual folders each time a new employee joins. This automation helps prevent manual input errors and speeds up the overall workflow. Additionally, reducing the burden of routine tasks allows more time to be allocated to other important work.

Benefit 2: Prevention of Confusion through Unified Folder Structure

When automatically creating folders, applying predetermined naming conventions and hierarchical structures ensures unified folder management across the organization. For instance, if folders are automatically generated in the format "EmployeeNumber_Name," anyone can intuitively access the necessary information. Having a consistent folder structure like this reduces the time spent searching for information and improves work efficiency.

Benefit 3: Smoother Internal Collaboration

Automatically creating employee folders facilitates smoother information sharing between departments. For example, when the HR department enters new employee information into a spreadsheet, a dedicated folder for that employee is automatically created and shared with relevant departments. This system eliminates the hassle of searching for necessary documents and allows for quick updates and sharing of information. Additionally, setting notifications during folder creation ensures that stakeholders are automatically informed, enhancing communication.

I worked as an SV in the BPO division of a listed company for 4 years and experienced editing and writing media articles for about 3 and a half years. I had the opportunity to use a wide variety of apps due to my job being in charge of outsourced work from other companies. I still remember getting to know Yoom when I was worried about how to improve work efficiency, and I was moved by being able to easily link apps with each other to create an automated flow! I would be happy if I could help improve everyone's work efficiency by making use of my experience working on media articles and conveying the appeal of Yoom in an easy-to-understand manner.
