New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Email by Zapier and Google Drive
How do I set up an integration between Email by Zapier and Google Drive?
To set up an integration, you will first need to create a Zap. In the first step, choose Email by Zapier as the trigger app and select a specific trigger, such as 'New Inbound Email.' Then, in the action step, choose Google Drive and set up actions like 'Upload File,' 'Create Folder,' or 'Update File' based on your requirements.
Can I automatically upload email attachments to Google Drive?
Yes, you can! When setting up the integration, select the 'New Inbound Email' trigger in Email by Zapier. For the action, choose Google Drive's 'Upload File.' This way, every time you receive an email with attachments through Zapier's email parser, the files will be automatically uploaded to your specified Google Drive folder.
What types of files can be moved from Email by Zapier to Google Drive?
You can move various types of files such as PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, images (JPEG, PNG), and more from emails through Email by Zapier to your chosen location in Google Drive. The type of file is usually determined by what is attached to the inbound emails.
Is it possible to create folders in Google Drive based on email content?
Absolutely! You can use data from incoming emails (like subject lines or sender details) as part of your folder names. When setting up your zap, after selecting the 'New Inbound Email' trigger from Email by Zapier, choose ‘Create Folder’ as an action in Google Drive and customize it using variables from your email.
How frequently does this integration run? Will it immediately process new emails?
Our integrations generally run almost instantly but can take a few minutes depending on server loads and technical factors. However, for most users setting a 'New Inbound Email' trigger with subsequent actions like uploading or moving files will see responses fairly quickly as they happen.
Are there any limitations on email size when using this integration?
Yes, email size limitations depend on what is acceptable via our built-in Email app and relevant attachments handled therein. Typically this means individual files shouldn't exceed 10MB unless specified otherwise within documentation since multiple services need parsing timely & storing seamlessly.
