How to Create a Notion and Google Drive Integration Flow

Let's create a flow together using a template where "a folder is created in Google Drive when a client is registered in Notion"!

Before You Start

First, if you do not have a Yoom account, please issue an account from the Yoom account issuance page. You can start right away!
Also, please check Getting Started with Yoom for basic operations of Yoom.

Step 1: Register Notion and Google Drive in My Apps

(1) After logging into Yoom, select "My Apps" in the left column and click "+Add".

(2) From the list of new connections in My Apps, click Notion.

(3) The following content will appear, click "Select Page".

(4) Check the pages you want to allow and click "Allow Access".

(5) Next, integrate Google Drive. Click Google Drive from the list of new connections in Yoom, just like in (1).
(6) Click "Sign in with Google" to move to the account selection screen. Log in with your account.

This completes the registration of Notion and Google Drive in My Apps.
Next, let's set up the trigger using a template!

Step 2: Setting Up App Triggers

(1) We will use the template introduced earlier. Click "Try it" on the banner below.

Please click on "When a page is created or updated" in the app trigger.

(2) From the "Select integration account and action" screen in Notion, verify the account information to integrate with Notion, keep the trigger action as "When a page is created or updated," and click "Next."

(3) From the "App Trigger API Connection Settings" screen, select the trigger interval from the dropdown.
※ Triggers can be set at intervals of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. 
※ Please note that the shortest trigger interval may vary depending on the plan.

Once the selection is complete, click "Test" and then click "Save" at the bottom.

Step 3: Integrate with Google Drive

Click "Create Folder."

(2) From the "Select integration account and action" screen in Google Drive, verify the account information to integrate with Google Drive, keep the action as "Create Folder," and click "Next."

This completes the flowbot to "Create a folder in Google Drive when a client is registered in Notion."

Other Automation Examples Using Notion and Google Drive

In addition to the flow introduced this time, you can achieve various business automations by using the APIs of Notion and Google Drive.
All of them can be used with simple settings, so if you find something interesting, please give it a try!

Other Automation Examples with Notion and Google Drive

You can create a record in Notion when a new file is added to Google Drive, or update the list of files in Google Drive to a Notion database every month.
Furthermore, it is also possible to update the corresponding Notion record when a file is updated.

Automation Example Using Google Drive

When an image is uploaded to Google Drive, Gemini will analyze it and notify you of its contents

Not only will this reduce the time and effort required to check images, but it will also allow you to share information quickly and respond smoothly in situations where a quick response is required.

Notify When a File is Uploaded to Google Drive

This is a flow bot that notifies you when a file is uploaded to Google Drive.
It is expected to facilitate a smooth transition to subsequent tasks such as approaching customers or setting up meetings.

Sync Files Stored in Google Drive

By automating file transfers, you may eliminate the need for manual copying tasks.

Examples of Automation Using Notion

When a record is added to Notion, create and store a report

After data entry, a report is automatically created, eliminating the need to manually save and streamlining file management.

Add Registered Company Information to Notion

This is a flow bot that adds new information to the Notion database when it is registered.
It will also help reduce the burden of data entry tasks.

Notify when information is added to any Notion database

This is a flow bot that triggers upon registration or update in a Notion database and sends a notification to a communication tool.

Benefits of Integrating Notion and Google Drive

Benefit 1: Centralized Folder Management

By integrating Notion and Google Drive, you can achieve centralized management of client information and related documents on a single platform.
When you register a client in Notion, a folder is automatically created in Google Drive, allowing you to manage folders and documents in a unified location without them being scattered.
This is expected to save you the hassle of checking where each folder is located, reduce the risk of missing information, and alleviate the stress of searching.
Each member can quickly access the necessary information, which may facilitate smooth business operations and improve the overall progress management of projects.

Benefit 2: Avoiding Mistakes by Reducing Manual Work

The integration of Notion and Google Drive will likely reduce the manual processes involved in folder management.
This may save time spent organizing folder creation and reduce the risk of human error.
When dealing with multiple clients or projects, the manual creation of folders can lead to errors and input mistakes, but automation is expected to help avoid these errors.
Additionally, it can prevent issues such as duplicate folders or saving folders in incorrect locations, enabling accurate and consistent data management.

Conclusion

With the integration of Notion and Google Drive, you can automatically create folders when registering clients, potentially reducing the hassle of folder management.
This is expected to improve work efficiency and reduce the risk of human error.
Moreover, by eliminating the manual task of folder creation, the entire team's work can become smoother, and information should be more accessible.

The integration introduced here is likely to aid in improving work efficiency and folder management.
Be sure to incorporate it into your daily operations!
