1.Monitors new file in folder
Integrate Google Drive and file storage tools to detect new files and capture export file metadata for the move.
Move export files to results folder for reporting
Automatically detect new export files in Google Drive across file transfer tools. Instantly move qualifying exports into a results folder when uploads match a filename pattern or arrive in your monitored folder—so you can reduce sorting errors, standardize access, and preserve audit context without manual file handling.
How this automation protects your reporting files
When new files land in the monitored folder, misfiled exports can break reporting consistency. This automation detects new export files, filters by filename pattern, and moves them into a centralized results folder—so your team can access the right files predictably.

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 — 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.
