Use data from Google Drive and bot automation

[eric_niedergang]

Hi,
I've just discovered that I can add a Drive folder as a data source

OK, nice that's work !

BUT, can I create an bot automation with this  data source ?
Can I create a bot that send an email when I add a file in that folder ?

Thanks

I suggest using google apps script to send the email if you add new files in that folder.

Hi, I'm interested !
Is it a complex script ?
Thanks

Hi, 
there are no triggers on the folders to detect when a new file is added.
So we're forced to trigger the script repeatedly? Every 10 minutes for example?

Hi,
Does anyone have any information? Can I create an automation with the Drive Folder source?

GAS can not be triggered by the Event of "Add new file to the folder" unfortunately, so it is not possible.

Hi, 
Yes, I read that there were no "Add new file to the folder" triggers in GAS

BUT, in APPSHEET ? What about this ?

Thanks

Not possible.
