Practical ways you can use Google Drive and Notion

Back up key Notion pages to Google Drive

For business owners who want to retain backups of important Notion pages, Zapier ensures key pages are stored on Google Drive. When a new page is created in Notion, Zapier automatically saves it as a file in Google Drive. This prevents data loss and provides secure storage for critical information.

Centralize marketing assets in Notion

Zapier connects Google Drive and Notion, so whenever a new marketing file is added to Google Drive, a corresponding item is created in Notion. This boosts collaboration and ensures teams always have access to updated resources in one central hub.

How can I integrate Google Drive with Notion?

These tools can trigger actions such as creating or updating Notion database entries when a new file is uploaded to Google Drive. We provide step-by-step guides to set up these triggers and actions effectively.

What are the common triggers used for Google Drive and Notion integration?

Common triggers include adding a new file in a specific Google Drive folder, updating an existing file, or when a file is shared with you. These triggers can be paired with actions in Notion such as creating new pages or updating existing database entries.
