Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually tracking file updates in Google Drive and creating corresponding tasks in Onfleet. By automating this process, users can:

- Reduce Errors: Minimize the risk of missing critical updates or creating tasks incorrectly due to human oversight.

Workflow Steps

  • Google Drive Trigger: The workflow begins with the Google Drive Trigger node, which monitors a specific file in Google Drive for changes.
    - The trigger checks for updates every minute, ensuring timely responses.
    - Users must specify the file to watch by replacing with the actual file ID.

    2. Onfleet Task Creation: Upon detecting an update in the specified file, the workflow automatically triggers the Onfleet node.
    - The Onfleet node is set to create a new task, which can be customized with additional fields as needed.

    3. Execution: The workflow runs seamlessly, allowing users to focus on their core tasks while the system handles the automation of task creation.

  • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Changing the File to Watch: Modify the fileToWatch parameter in the Google Drive Trigger to monitor a different file.
    - Adjusting Polling Frequency: Alter the pollTimes settings to check for updates at different intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes instead of every minute).
    - Adding Additional Fields in Onfleet: Enhance the task creation process by specifying additional parameters in the Onfleet node to include more contextual information, such as task descriptions or assignees.
    - Integrating with Other Services: Expand the workflow by adding more nodes to integrate with other applications or services relevant to your operations.
