1.Monitors new file intake
Integrate Google Drive, file intake folders, and metadata fields to detect new dataset files and pass file content to the workflow.
Copy new dataset files into processing drive for pipelines
Automatically monitor new file uploads in your intake folder across Google Drive. Create and update when dataset files land, metadata is ready, or files changeβso you can create processing copies, annotate traceability, and update notes without manual copying.
How this automation secures consistent pipeline inputs
When new dataset files appear but are copied inconsistently, downstream pipelines can break or ingest mismatched inputs. This automation monitors new files in your intake folder and creates processing copies and updates traceability notesβso your team can move data safely.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
