Step 2: How to use Integration Templates?
The templates are easy to setup. We've explained how to use each one below. Remember → The Google Drive Folder Link is the link in the browser url field ⤵️ (drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a-V2wDjC....)
1. When a subitem is created, create a folder inside Google Drive Folder (Link) [Atleast 1 subitem, need to be present for this integration to work]
How to use: Automatically creates a subfolder inside a specified Google Drive folder when a subitem is created in monday.com. Add the Google drive Link in place of the highlighted text.
2. When an item is created, create folder in Google Drive Folder (Link) based on the item's group and save link to link
How to use: When a new item is added to a group, a new Google Drive folder is created inside a parent folder, and the link to this folder is saved in the column. Choose parent folder in place of "Google Drive Folder (Link) and Column in place of "Link". (You may have to create a link column, the app will prompt you to do it).
3. When button clicked, sync files to Folder Link from all columns
How to use: On clicking a button (button can be added via template itself), all files from the all columns in the board are synced to the Google Drive folder specified in the Folder Link column.
4. When button clicked, sync files from Column to Google Drive Folder (Link)
How to use: When a button is clicked, files from a specific column are uploaded to the Google Drive folder specified in another column.
5. When column changes, sync files from Column to Google Drive Folder (Link)
How to use: Select the trigger column and the target Folder Link column. On any column update, files in that column will be pushed to the specified Drive folder.
e.g. - When status changes, sync files from Files to https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/18ASFs
6. When item name changes, rename folder (Link)
How to use: Point to the column storing your Drive folder link. Whenever the item’s name is updated, the linked Drive folder is renamed to match.
e.g - When item name changes, rename https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1TJCpn5XOVvJBtB
7. When an item is moved to this board, create a folder in Google Drive (Link) with New Folder Name and save new folder link to Link
How to use: Choose a parent Drive folder (Link), specify the “New Folder Name” column, and select where to store the created folder’s link. Moving an item onto this board spins up that folder.
e.g - When an item is moved to this board, create a folder in https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1TJC with Documents and save new folder link to Link(column)
8. When an item is created, create a new folder in Google Drive (Link) and save new folder link to Column
How to use: Define the parent Drive folder (Link) and the target column for the new link. Each time you add an item, a matching Drive folder is created and its URL is written back.
9. When an item is created, create a folder in Google Drive (Link) with New Folder Name and save new folder link to Link
How to use: Use your “New Folder Name” column plus a parent Drive folder (Link). On item creation, a named folder is generated and its link saved automatically.
10. When button clicked, create a new folder in Google Drive (Link) and save new folder link to Column
How to use: Link a button column to a parent Drive folder (Link) and specify the link column. Clicking the button creates the folder and populates its link.
