📝 Overview

In Yoom, you can use Google Drive file storage as a Flowbot trigger to automate file notifications.

This guide explains how to send a notification about stored files at a specified time.

Use Cases

✔️ Notify team members at a specific time about the latest file stored in Google Drive.

✔️ Submit daily files to customers at a fixed time.


🛠 How to Implement It

You might assume that a schedule trigger could handle this, but due to system limitations, it cannot retrieve specific files (e.g. the latest file) from Google Drive at a scheduled time.

Workaround:

By using Google Drive file storage as a trigger and then adding a wait operation, you can delay the notification until the specified time.


⚙️ Example Configuration

Scenario:

1️⃣ Trigger: A file is stored in Google Drive.

2️⃣ Wait until 15:00 (3:00 PM).

3️⃣ Send the file to Chatwork.

Important:

If the Flowbot starts after the configured wait time, an error will occur. Ensure the Flowbot begins before the wait time to function properly.
