■Overview
Do you manually back up important files uploaded to Google Drive and notify relevant stakeholders? These manual tasks can lead to missed actions and human error. With this workflow, uploading a file triggers an automatic backup to a designated folder and a notification in Slack, helping you streamline the management of important files and improve security.
■Who should use this template
- Anyone who manually backs up files in Google Drive and wants to save time and effort
- Anyone who notifies others in Slack every time a file is added and wants to prevent missed communications
- Anyone who wants to strengthen their important file management processes and reduce reliance on individual knowledge
■Benefits of using this template
- Backups and notifications are triggered automatically when a file is uploaded, reducing the time previously spent on manual tasks.
- Prevent human errors such as missed file backups and forgotten notifications to relevant stakeholders, improving the reliability of your file management.
■Flowbot steps
- First, connect Google Drive and Slack to Yoom.
- Next, select Google Drive as the trigger and set the action to “When a new file or folder is created in a specific folder.”
- Then, set the Google Drive “Download a file” action as an operation and specify the file detected by the trigger.
- Next, set the Google Drive “Upload a file” action as an operation and upload the downloaded file to the backup destination folder.
- Finally, set the Slack “Send a message to a channel” action as an operation and notify the designated channel that the backup is complete.
※“Trigger”: An action that starts a flow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within a flow after the trigger starts.
■Customization options
■Customization options
- In the Google Drive trigger settings, specify the folder to monitor for file uploads.

■Notes

- You can select a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
- Note that the shortest available trigger interval varies by plan.
