How do I add the link of a Google Drive folder to an item on monday.com?

Hello,

 

Essentially I am trying to make an automation that will create a folder in google drive whenever a new item is created in Monday.com. I have that part covered already.


The part I’m struggling with is that I want the link of that folder created, to be pasted in that item on Monday.com.

 

Is this possible?

Hi @Dylan P 

Good question.

Yes, that’s possible.

Try using this Zap action: Monday - Change Multiple Column Values

Hi, thanks for replying!

 

I’m very new to this, could you explain how to get the unique link and get it pasted?

The Folder link will be returned from the GDrive step 2.

You’ll need to map the Monday Item ID from step 1 to step 3.

How exactly would I be able to access the folder link as a variable?

 

I’m not sure where to find it to plug into the automation
