  • How do I auto-upload varying numbers of files from Tally.so to Google Drive using Zapier?

Hello,
I have a tally.so form for people to send me video files.

I have 1 to 5 upload boxes. But not everyone uploads 5 files in total. sometimes 1 , sometimes 3, and sometimes 5. So it can be different.

How can i make the files upload automatically to my google drive without errors in me automation? do i need to set up filters for this? i'm not really figuring out the best way to set this up.

This is the automation I have now for 1 file upload.

 

 

Hi @Grijper 

Try these Zap steps:

  1. Trigger: Tally - New Submission
  2. Action: Paths
    1. 1 Path per possible file
    2. Path Filter condition checks if the file exists
  3. Action: GDrive - Upload File

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

Do you have an explanation video how best to do this? i'm new to zapier, or a little more explanation?

If you need more help, post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode so we can see the field mappings.

Hi @Troy Tessalone so if I understand it right I should implement it like this? and then add the right actions?

@Grijper 

The first 2 fields in the Filter condition should be filled out.

 

Path filter condition would be like this:

pVAR from Step 1] exists

 

 

 

@Troy Tessalone 

I don't quite understand what you mean by

Path filter condition would be like this:

>VAR from Step 1] exists 

@Grijper 

From your screenshot of the Filter step, you have an incomplete filter condition.

You need to select the variable from Step 1 in the top field.

You need to set the middle field as: (Text) Exists

 

@Troy Tessalone Thanks, its working,  how can i set if i have received more than 1 files that i get a message? or do i have to do everything manually because then they get in as separate  

 

 

@Grijper 

You would need to add the error handler to each Path as it’s currently only configured for Path A.

@Troy Tessalone 

but then if someone submits 5 times I get 5 times the message

@Grijper 

Then move the Telegram step to be before the Paths as Zap step 2.

@Troy Tessalone 

and what should i do if people send in for example 3 files i want the all 3 googe drive links of that in one telegram message?

@Grijper 

You would probably need to add another Path just to send the Telegram message after a Delay step.

In each of the GDrive paths add a Digest.
