File routing
Keep every file in the right place
Zapier automates the movement of incoming files into the folders and systems where they belong. New attachments, uploads, and meeting assets can route from Gmail, Zoom, or Slack into Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive based on your rules. That means less cleanup and faster access to what you need.

Send each incoming file to the right destination based on source, name, or context. That keeps your file organization consistent without daily sorting work.
Email attachment filing
Capture attachments from Gmail and place them in the correct project or client folder automatically. Important files stop getting buried in inbox threads.
Meeting recording routing
Move recordings and notes from Zoom or Fathom into the folders your workflow already uses. Meeting files stay organized the moment they are created.

Route files into ClickUp, Trello, or monday.com related spaces when work changes status. Your project materials follow the work instead of waiting for manual uploads.
