Frequently Asked Questions about Google Drive + OneNote integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Drive and OneNote

How can I automatically send files from Google Drive to OneNote?

To automate sending files from Google Drive to OneNote, you can use triggers such as 'New File' in Google Drive. When a new file is added, an action can be set up in OneNote to create a new note containing the file.

Is it possible to update a OneNote page when a Google Drive document is edited?

Yes, you can set a trigger for 'File Updated' in Google Drive and configure an action in OneNote to update the corresponding page. This ensures that your notes reflect the latest changes from your documents.

What types of files from Google Drive can be added to OneNote?

Most common file types like PDFs, images, Word documents, and Excel sheets from Google Drive can be integrated into OneNote pages using our automations.

Can I organize my notes in OneNote based on folders in Google Drive?

While direct folder-to-section synchronization isn't available, you can set specific folder triggers in Google Drive so that when files are added to these folders, they initiate actions to create or update notes in specific sections of OneNote.

How often do these automated integrations run between Google Drive and OneNote?

The frequency of automation depends on the plan you're on. Typically, our automations check for new data every few minutes and perform the actions as soon as they're triggered.

Are there any limits on how many notes I can create with this integration?

The limits depend on your plan with us; however, both Google Drive and OneNote have their own storage limitations which might affect how many files or notes you can handle through automated workflows over time.

Do I need any special permissions for integrating Google Drive with OneNote?

Yes, you'll need permissions to access both your Google Drive and your OneNote account. These permissions allow us to execute triggers and actions on your behalf securely.
