I’m trying to set up a simple workflow that takes our new drawing files, uploads them to Drive, keeps the versions organized, and automatically emails clients when something gets updated. Nothing fancy, just something that saves us some manual work for a small drafting team.
The files are generated on (URL Removed by Staff) , and I’d really like everything to sync on its own instead of having to upload each update by hand.
If anyone has done something similar with Workspace APIs or knows an easy way to set this up, I’d really appreciate the help.
Hello @William_Smith1 ,
Where is the source system (ie: where are the CAD files currently stored)? At a high level (using Application Integration) I could see you doing something along the lines of the following:
- Application Integration supports an API trigger (or 150+ additional connectors, see here: All Integration Connectors | Google Cloud Documentation) which can help push your file into an Application Integration process (including custom connectors, which can be built on demand given OpenAPI specification: Create a custom connector | Application Integration | Google Cloud Documentation)
- Once pushed to Application Integration, you can perform any message mediation, enrichment, etc via a set of data transformation tasks native to the platform (no code, low code, Javascript, etc)
- Once the data/metadata is enriched to expectation, you could use the Google Drive Connector: Create and configure a Google Drive connection | Integration Connectors | Google Cloud Documentation and the email task: Send Email task | Application Integration | Google Cloud Documentation to push files/publish updated notifications to your client base (can set addresses, content, etc dynamically)
We do have a set of templates to help get you started as well and accelerate your platform usage: Templates | Application Integration | Google Cloud Documentation some of which include the connectors noted
Hope this helps!
