Hi @sam2333 

That would likely involve using the GDrive API: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3

Try using one of these advanced actions:

  • Custom Action
  • API Request

Try using the Custom Action as it has AI to help configure.

@sam2333 

The AI should be able to configure the custom action configuration for you.

Then once you publish the custom action, in the Zap Editor you can use that custom action.
