■Overview
When multiple people use Google Drive, duplicate files can build up over time, taking up storage space and making file management more complicated. With this workflow, an AI worker automatically deletes duplicate files in Google Drive every morning, eliminating the need to organize files manually and keeping your storage clean.
■Who This Template Is For
- Anyone who struggles with Google Drive file management and wants to automate the deletion of duplicate files
- IT professionals interested in more advanced business automation powered by AI workers
- Anyone who currently organizes storage manually and wants to save time and effort
■Benefits of This Template
- Automatically deletes duplicate files according to your schedule, reducing the time previously spent checking and organizing files manually
- Because the AI agent processes files based on your instructions, it helps prevent human errors such as missed deletions and accidentally deleting the wrong files
■Flowbot Steps
- First, connect Google Drive and the AI worker to Yoom
- Next, select the schedule trigger and set the schedule that works best for when you want to launch the Flowbot
- Finally, select the AI worker as an operation and create a manual (set of instructions) for identifying and deleting duplicate files in Google Drive
※ “Trigger”: An action that starts a flow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the flow after the trigger starts
■Customization Options
■Customization Options
- For the schedule trigger, set the date and time to launch the Flowbot according to your workflow, such as daily, weekly, or monthly
- For the AI worker, you can configure the manual (instructions) and tools used based on your needs, including the criteria for determining whether files are duplicates and how they should be deleted
■Notes
- Connect Google Drive and Slack to Yoom. The tools (apps) used within the AI worker must also be connected through My Apps.
- For the basic AI worker setup, see [AI Worker] How to Configure Basic Settings.
- The number of AI workers that can run simultaneously, the number of AI workers you can create, and the AI models available to you vary depending on your plan.
- The apps and operations available within an AI worker are subject to the same usage restrictions as Flowbots.
- Please note that AI workers consume tasks during test runs just as they do during live runs. For details, see [AI Worker] How Task Usage Is Calculated.
- The tools (apps) used within an AI worker must also be connected through My Apps.
- Providing detailed instructions in the AI worker's manual makes it more likely to perform the appropriate actions. For details, see [AI Worker] How to Create a Manual.
