Step 1: Connect OneDrive & ChatGPT in My Apps

Connect with OneDrive

Before connecting, make sure to upload your files to OneDrive!
For this example, we've uploaded the file shown in the image below. We will use ChatGPT to summarize the contents of this file.

After logging into Yoom, go to "My Apps" from the left side menu and click "+ Add".

Search "OneDrive" from the app list, and select it.

Select the account you want to connect to.

Enter your password and click "Sign In". 

Connect with Microsoft Teams

Similarly, go to "My Apps" from the left side menu, and click the "+ Add" button.

Search for "Microsoft Teams" from the app list and select it.

Select the account you want to connect to.

Enter your password and click "Sign In". 

Connect with ChatGPT

Similarly, go to "My Apps" from the left side menu, and click the "+ Add" button.

Search for "ChatGPT" from the app list and select it.

Enter the account name.
Use a name that's easy to recognize, such as your company name or the person responsible for the account.

To get your access token, follow the instructions in this guide.

Once all the required fields are filled in, click "Add" to complete registration.

Step 2: Copy the Template

Click the "Try It" button to copy the pre-built template into your project.

Click "Try this template". 

Click "OK" and give the Flowbot a name to recognize.

This template will be copied to your “My Project”.

Step 3: Set Up OneDrive Trigger Action

Click on the trigger labeled "When a file is created or updated".

Give your trigger a title (anything you like) and select your Microsoft account.
Then click "Next".

Set your trigger interval (frequency of sync) on how frequently Yoom checks OneDrive for updates. It can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
We recommend setting the trigger to the shortest activation interval available for your plan.

⚠️ Note: The trigger interval varies depending on your Yoom plan. Be sure to check your current plan’s limit.

Select the "Drive ID" from the displayed options.

For "Folder Name", enter the value as described below the input field.
This will help search for potential 'folder item IDs' using the entered value. If the target folder isn’t found, try adjusting the value to include part of the folder name and search again.

Select the "Folder ID" from the displayed options.

Once set, click "Test".
Then you should see the retrieved value section get updated like below.

If successful, click "Save".

📚 Reference: For more details on retrieved values and how to set it up, see the guide here.

Step 4: Set Up OneDrive Action to Download File

Click the action labeled "Download File".


Give your action a title (anything you like), and select your account.

Make sure the action "Download File" is selected and click "Next". 

Select the "Drive ID" (where the file you want to download is stored) from the displayed options.

For "File Item ID", you can select from the retrieved value from the previous action.


Once set, click "Test" and save if the test is successful.

Step 5: Set Up OCR Action for Image Analysis

⚠️ Note: OCR (reading text) used in this Flowbot is only available in Yoom's certain plans. If you're using the Free or Plus plan, the Flowbot may face errors due to limited access. But don't worry - all plans have a 2-week free trial! You can try all features without restrictions. For more details on Yoom and its plans, visit our Yoom Help Center.

Click on the action labeled "ReadText from Image/PDF".


Click "Next".

Select the "File Attachment Method" from the dropdown.

In the "Items to Extract", enter the items you want to extract.

For this example, we want to extract the entire text. But, if you're extracting data from invoices or quotations, you can specify particular items such as "Amount" or "Client Company".

Once the setup is done, click "Test" and save if the test is successful.

Step 6: Configure ChatGPT Action

Click on the action labeled "Generate Text".


Give your action a title (anything you like), and select your account.
Make sure the action "Generate Text" is selected and click "Next."

Click inside the "Message Content" box, and select the extracted text result (under retrieved value) from the previous action.
Confirm that the message box gets updated as shown below.
By setting it up as below, you can automatically send an action request to ChatGPT to summarize the content.


Perform a test and if successful, click "Save".

Step 7: Configure Microsoft Teams Action

Click on the action labeled "Send Message to Channel".


Give your action a title (anything you like), and select your account.
Make sure the action "Send Message to Channel" is selected and click "Next".

Select the Team ID and Channel ID from the displayed options.
The channel ID will be something like 'C02U49NMLQ4'.

Click inside the message box and select items from the "retrieved value".
Confirm that the message box gets updated as shown in the image below.

By setting it up as below, you can automatically share the summary from ChatGPT to Microsoft Teams.

Perform a test and if successful, click "Save".
