Hello Zapier Community,
I need to set up a workflow where new files added to multiple Google Drive accounts trigger the same action in Zapier. Specifically, I want a Zap to run whenever a new file is uploaded to a folder in any of these Google Drive accounts. Currently, I have a Zap that works when manually triggered, but I'm looking for a solution that can automatically trigger from multiple accounts.
I understand that Zapier doesn't natively support monitoring multiple accounts in a single Zap. What are some best practices or workarounds for achieving this functionality? Here are some options I've considered:
- Creating Multiple Zaps: Setting up individual Zaps for each Google Drive account, all pointing to the same webhook or action. Is this the most efficient approach?
- Using a Shared Folder: Creating a shared folder accessible by all relevant accounts and monitoring this single folder. Are there any limitations or potential issues with this method?
- Google Apps Script Integration: Writing a Google Apps Script to monitor multiple accounts and send a webhook when a new file is detected. How complex would this implementation be, and are there any recommended resources for this approach?
Any advice, best practices, or alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Best regards,
Mark Reith
