■Overview
Do you manually update Google Drive file names each time based on the content of messages posted in Slack? While this task is simple, it can be time-consuming and often leads to missed updates and input errors. With this workflow, you can automatically update a Google Drive file name whenever a message is posted to a specific Slack channel. Reduce manual file management and enable more accurate, efficient information sharing.
■Who This Template Is For
- Team leaders managing files by integrating Slack and Google Drive
- Anyone who finds manual file name changes time-consuming and wants to improve efficiency through automation
- Anyone who wants to prevent human errors such as missed file name updates and input mistakes
■Benefits of This Template
- File names are updated automatically when you post a message in Slack, reducing the time previously spent on manual updates.
- Reduce the risk of human errors, such as missed updates and typos when changing file names manually, for more accurate file management.
■Workflow Steps
- First, connect Slack and Google Drive to Yoom.
- Next, select Slack as the trigger and set the action to “When a message is posted to a channel.”
- Then, select the OCR feature as the operation and set the action to “Extract data from text,” using the Slack message content obtained by the trigger.
- Finally, set the Google Drive operation to “Update file name” and specify the data extracted by the OCR feature as the new file name.
※ “Trigger”: An action that starts the workflow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the workflow after the trigger runs.
■Customization Options
- In the Slack trigger settings, specify the channel ID you want to monitor and the interval at which messages should be checked.
- In the OCR action settings, specify the fields used to extract the text you want to use as the file name from the Slack message.
- In the Google Drive action settings, specify the ID of the file you want to update and the new file name using the text extracted during the operation.
