Let's Create a Flow to Integrate OneDrive and Gmail

Let's get started with creating a flow that integrates OneDrive and Gmail!
We'll be using Yoom to proceed with the integration of OneDrive and Gmail without any coding. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please issue one from the registration form.

[What is Yoom]

This time, we will create a flow bot that sends a notification to Gmail when a file is uploaded to OneDrive!
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps:

  • Register OneDrive and Gmail as My Apps
  • Copy the template
  • Set the OneDrive trigger that initiates the flow and the subsequent Gmail action
  • Turn on the trigger button to activate the flow bot

Step 1: Register OneDrive and Gmail as My Apps

First, register OneDrive and Gmail as My Apps to connect them to Yoom.
Completing the My Apps registration in advance makes it easier to proceed with automation settings.

Let's proceed with the settings!
Click "My Apps" → "+ Add" on the left side of the Yoom screen.

How to Connect OneDrive

A list of apps will be displayed, so find OneDrive from there or use the search function.
Once the following screen is displayed, log in to OneDrive.

How to Connect Gmail

Similarly, find Gmail from the list or use the search function.
Once the following screen is displayed, log in to Gmail.

Once the following screen is displayed, check that there are no mistakes in the account and click "Continue".

If OneDrive and Gmail are displayed in your My Apps section, the registration is complete.

Step 2: Copy the Template

Now let's proceed with the automation settings!
Log in to Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.

The template will be automatically copied, and the following screen will be displayed.
The template will be automatically stored in a project called My Project, so if you want to check it, please check from there.
Read the following screen display and click "OK".

When the following screen is displayed, please check the "Title".
You can also change the title to make it easier to use.
First, to set up the flow bot to start when a file is created in a specific folder, click "When a file is created or updated in a specific folder".

Step 3: Set the OneDrive trigger that starts the flow

The following screen will be displayed, so please check the settings.
If there are no issues, click "Next".

*Microsoft365 (formerly Office365) has a home plan and a general business plan (Microsoft365 Business), and if you are not subscribed to the general business plan, authentication may fail.

Please check the following settings method.

Scroll and set the "Trigger Interval".
Select from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
*The trigger interval varies depending on the plan, so please be careful.

Next, select the "Drive ID" from the candidates.
The candidates will be displayed when you click inside the frame.

Scroll and set the "Folder Name".
This is used when the target folder is not hit, so please enter part of the folder name.

Next, select the "Folder ID" from the candidates.
Please upload a file to the OneDrive folder.
Once the setup is complete, click "Test".

"Output" will be displayed below it.
Output will be used in the subsequent settings, so please check for any mistakes.
Once confirmed, click "Save".

Step 4: Set up notifications to Gmail

Next, to set up notifications to Gmail, click "Send Email".

The following screen will be displayed, so please check the settings.

Next, enter the recipient you want to notify of the OneDrive file upload in "To".

Scroll and set the "Subject" and "Body".

  • "Subject" → Set as desired
  • "Body" → Set using OneDrive's output
    The following is an example, so please set as desired.
    The output will be displayed when you click the arrow in the red frame.

Once the setup is complete, click "Next".

The "Email Content" will be displayed, so please check for any mistakes and click "Test".

When the test is successful, "Test Successful" will be displayed, so click "Save".

When you move to Gmail, the message should have been sent!

Step 5: Turn on the trigger button and start the flow bot

All items have been set up here!
The following screen will be displayed, so click "Turn on the trigger" to complete the automation settings.
Let's check if the flow bot you set up is working properly!

This was the flow to notify Gmail when a file is uploaded to OneDrive.

I've been working as a writer since my job in child welfare, and I'm currently writing a blog on Yoom. While being surprised by the work efficiency improvements that can be made with Yoom, I would like to share that excitement with everyone and contribute to society. I'll tell you about application integration and automation that even I, who has zero programming knowledge, can do.

What is Yoom hyperautomation?
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated.
With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Don't Just Connect Apps—Automate Everything
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.

Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
