A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Document" from Google Docs.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Copy File or Folder (Across Sites)" in Microsoft SharePoint.

Practical ways you can use Google Docs and Microsoft SharePoint
Sync Google Docs with SharePoint lists
When a document is added to a Google Docs folder, Zapier can automatically create a new list item in SharePoint summarizing the document. This gives business owners better visibility into documents being worked on and tracks progress efficiently without any manual effort.
Business OwnerUpdate SharePoint after creating a new Google Doc
When a new document is created in a specific Google Docs folder, Zapier can automatically upload the document to a designated folder on SharePoint, eliminating the need for manual uploads. This ensures all relevant documents are organized consistently across platforms, improving collaboration and reducing errors.

Frequently Asked Questions about Google Docs + Microsoft SharePoint integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Docs and Microsoft SharePoint
How can I automatically create a Google Doc from a new SharePoint file?
You can set up an automated workflow that triggers when a new file is added to a specific SharePoint folder. This trigger can be paired with the action of creating a Google Doc, automatically transferring the file content or metadata based on your configuration.
Is it possible to update a SharePoint list when a Google Doc is modified?
Absolutely, you can use automation to monitor changes in a Google Doc. When an edit occurs, it triggers an action to update corresponding items in your SharePoint list, ensuring both platforms stay synchronized.
Can we sync document permissions between Google Docs and SharePoint?
While syncing permissions directly isn't supported through our automation tools, you can set triggers to notify administrators for manual updates. Automation can handle notifying stakeholders about permissions changes in either platform.
What happens if there are conflicts between versions in Google Docs and documents stored in SharePoint?
Version conflicts might arise when multiple users make concurrent edits. Our system allows you to set notifications or review alerts that inform you of discrepancies, so you can manually reconcile differences through revision history features available in both platforms.
Can I get notified if someone deletes a shared document on either platform?
Yes, setting up notifications is straightforward. You establish triggers for document deletion events within each platform. These triggers can notify your team via email or other communication tools linked through our service.
How do we manage access controls during integration?
Access control management requires careful planning since direct synchronization isn't automatic through our standard services. Use our tool's notification systems for monitoring changes and manual cross-verification processes to maintain proper access protocols across both services.
Is there support for maintaining document templates between the two platforms?
Certainly! You can automate the propagation of document templates by setting initial trigger actions when templates are created or updated on one platform and reflect these changes onto the other using cross-platform actions facilitated by our integration services.
