How do I set up the integration between Google Drive and Spark?

Setting up the integration requires you to connect your Google Drive and Spark accounts in our platform. Once connected, you can set triggers such as 'New File in Folder' on Google Drive, which can prompt an action in Spark like creating a task.

Can I customize triggers for specific Google Drive folders?

Yes, you can specify which folder in Google Drive should trigger an action in Spark. During the setup, select the folder you want the trigger to apply to so that any new files added will initiate your chosen action.

What types of actions can be performed in Spark through this integration?

Our integration allows actions such as creating tasks or notes in Spark when a trigger from Google Drive is activated. For instance, adding a file to a designated folder could automatically create a related task in Spark.

Is it possible to automate file sharing from Spark using Google Drive?

Yes, we facilitate automation between the two by allowing changes or updates made within your Spark workspace to be saved or shared directly via Google Drive, using specific triggers and actions tailored during the setup.

Can I use this integration to back up emails from Spark into Google Drive?

This integration is specifically designed for workflow automations related to tasks and document management. To back up emails, we suggest looking into direct email export functionalities available within your email client and storing those exports into Google Drive.

Are there limitations on file types for triggers involving new files in Google Drive?

Our system supports common file types such as documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. However, ensure that any specialized file types are compatible with both platforms' processing capabilities before setting them as triggers.

How often are changes synced between Google Drive and Spark after setting up an integration?

Once you set up your preferred triggers and actions between the two platforms, changes are synchronized based on these parameters almost instantaneously. However, sync times may vary depending on server loads and connection stability at any given time.
