1.Catches raw webhook payload
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and webhook routing tools to trigger file-transfer processing from raw hook payloads.
Move files from internal folder to external folder
Automatically catch raw webhook payloads across Webhooks by Zapier and Google Drive. Create and update file copies when source folder IDs and destination folder IDs are included—so you can standardize filenames, copy files to the external folder, and keep audit-ready records without manual transfers.
How this automation creates auditable file copies
When file-transfer requests arrive but folder routing is handled manually, copies get inconsistent and hard to audit. This automation parses webhook payloads, searches the source folder, and copies files to the external folder—so your team can maintain consistent transfer records.

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.
