GoCanvas + Google Drive

Sync new Google Drive files with GoCanvas sheets for updated reference data

When a new file is added to a specified folder in Google Drive, this workflow ensures its data is mirrored within your GoCanvas app. By bridging your Google Drive and GoCanvas, this system can streamline your data management, reducing the need for manual data transfers. Ideal for businesses utilizing these applications, it results in an organized, cohesive approach to managing files across platforms.
