Google Drive → Slack

When a new file lands in a Google Drive folder, your team hears about it in Slack #files.

구글 드라이브 폴더에 새 파일이 생기면 슬랙 #files 채널에 알려 줘요.

Steps

  1. When when a new file is added to google drive — Google Drive node
  2. Then send a slack message to #files — Slack node

Fields to fill (3)

The file has every node wired up. These are the blanks only you can fill (your form, your sheet, your words).

NodeWhat to do
Google Drivefill folderToWatch (Folder) — only if triggerOn = specificFolder
