Template: Convert new Google Drive file into Oneflow contract as an attachment

This Zap automatically creates a Oneflow contract whenever a new file is uploaded to Google Drive.

1. Trigger: New file in Google Drive

This Zap starts when a new file is added to the chosen Google Drive.

Choose account

• Google Drive account: Select a Google Drive account of your choice from the dropdown list
  • You can choose from a list of Google accounts already connected to the Zapier account you're logged in to.
  • If the required account is not available in the dropdown list, click on the + Connect a new account button to add a new Google Drive account.

Set up trigger

• Drive: Select a drive from your Google Drive account (i.e. personal or shared drives connected to the account). You could also enter the name of the drive in the Custom tab in the dropdown.
• Folder: Choose the Google Drive folder to which the file will be uploaded to. This tells Zapier where to look for a file upload.
  • Navigate through the folder tree using the dropdown next to each folder name.
  • If you do not select a folder, the file will be uploaded to the root level of your Google Drive.

2. Filter files in Google Drive

• Only continue if...
  • File Extension: These conditions check if the uploaded file's extension is any of the following.
    • Allowed file types: asice, .key, .rtf, .bmp, .numbers, .tif, .csv, .ods, .tiff, .doc, .pages, .txt, .docx, .pdf, .xls, .dotx, .png, .xlsb, .gif, .ppsx, .xlsm, .jped, .ppt, .xlsx, .jpg, .pptx or .xml, a google document/presentation/spreadsheet or a PDF.
  • This Zap will run only if the uploaded file type is one of the following.

3. Action: Find a file in Google Drive 

• Click Continue to move to the next stage (No specific input is required here).
  • The details of the file will be returned as this step succeeds.

4. Action: Create contract in Oneflow

Having picked the necessary files, the Oneflow contract can be created.

Choose account

• Oneflow account: Select your Oneflow account from the list of connected accounts in Zapier.
  • If your Oneflow account is not listed, click on the  + Connect a new account button to add a new Oneflow account. To learn more, see Connecting to Oneflow accounts.

Set up action

• Create contract as: Refers to the user creating the contract (I.e. Who is creating this contract?). Typically, the contract will be created by the Oneflow account user name you selected in the previous step.

• Template: Select a template from your Oneflow account.

Data fields (Optional)

Note:
You can assign values to data fields in Oneflow from fields in the Google document.
To use data fields in a contract, the template group the contract belongs to needs to contain data fields (these are created in Oneflow).
To configure data fields for the Oneflow contract, make sure to select a template that belongs to a template group containing data fields.
To learn more about data fields, see Create a contract with data fields.

• How many data fields do you need to map while creating the contract?: Once you've selected a template with data fields, enter the number of data fields you would like to configure in the text field that appears. (I.e. You may add up to three data fields to the Zap. Type 1, 2, or 3)
  • The specified number of data fields will then appear in the fields below.
• Custom ID of field n: Select the Oneflow data field from the dropdown. This dropdown lists all data fields contained in the selected Template.
• Value of field n: Enter a value for the Oneflow data field.

5. Action: Add an attachment or Expanded PDF in Oneflow
