Frequently Asked Questions about GitHub + Google Drive integrations

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

To create a trigger for new GitHub issues that automatically adds details to Google Drive, you need to select the repository in GitHub first. Then, choose 'New Issue' as your trigger event. In the configuration, link your Google Drive account and define where and how you'd like the new issue information saved, such as in a document or spreadsheet.

Yes, you can automate this process by setting up a Zap with a trigger based on 'New Release' in GitHub. You can then create an action event to upload files associated with this release directly to your specified folder in Google Drive.

If you have set up an integration where updates are tracked, our system can perform actions based on these changes. For instance, if a README file linked from GitHub is updated in its associated Google Drive directory, you can configure notifications or update logs as actions.

Indeed, by establishing a trigger for 'Pull Request' activities such as opened or merged events in your chosen repository, data about contributions can be pushed into your shared Google Drive folders either as logs or detailed documents.

Security can be managed by utilizing OAuth permissions which both services support. When setting integrations between GitHub and Google Drive through our platform, ensure you authenticate each connection securely and define access roles appropriately.

Yes, alerts can be set up quite easily. During the workflow creation process on our platform, include steps for sending alerts if any part of the data transfer fails. This could be through email notifications or other messaging services integrated within our system.
