Frequently Asked Questions about Planning Center + Google Drive integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Planning Center and Google Drive

How do I start an integration between Planning Center and Google Drive?

To begin an integration between Planning Center and Google Drive, you will first need to create a Zap on our platform. A common approach is to set up a trigger from Planning Center, such as a new form submission, and define an action in Google Drive, like uploading a file or creating a document. Simply connect your accounts and configure the trigger and action to fit your specific requirements.

Can I automatically upload files from Planning Center to Google Drive?

Yes, by setting up a zap with 'File Updated' or 'File Created' as the trigger in Planning Center, you can have your files automatically uploaded to a specified folder in Google Drive through an 'Upload File' action.

Is it possible to sync contact information from Planning Center with Google Drive?

Absolutely. You can set up a zap where the trigger could be 'New or Updated People' in Planning Center, which will then create or update rows containing the contact data in a spreadsheet within your Google Drive.

What types of triggers are supported for this integration?

Planning Center supports various triggers such as 'New Form Submission', 'New Person', and 'Updated Event'. These can initiate actions in Google Drive like creating folders or adding event details as documents.

Can actions be performed in both apps when using this integration?

Certainly. A typical workflow might involve triggering from Planning Center events which then result in specific actions in Google Drive such as generating new documents. Conversely, changes detected by our platform can also instigate updates back into Planning Center if required.

Do I need any special permissions for integrating these platforms?

You will require access permissions for both accounts you're connecting. This includes permission to access and modify data on both Planning Center and within specific folders of your Google Drive so that triggers and actions function correctly.

Are there limitations on data size when transferring files between the two services?

While our platform handles file transfers efficiently, the size limitations are governed by both Planning Center's export capabilities and Google's file size restrictions within its drive service. Typically, standard document sizes won't present any issues.
