Limit access to Google Drive PDF to specific emails addresses from PayPal

A
Userlevel 1

At the moment when I sell my PDF, there is nothing stopping the person copying the link and sharing it.

 

The way to get around that is to set the document so that only those with approved email addresses can access that document.

 

So I need Zap to take the email used to pay in PayPal (already part of the Zap) and add give that email address access rights to that specific document.

 

Access to that document is provided to them via a link set by Active Campaign (already part of the Zap).

 

So just the middle bit to sort.

Hi @Amanda ThriveOBM.com 

Unfortunately the GDrive Zap app integration doesn’t support this action.

Hey @Amanda ThriveOBM.com,

Welcome to the Community! As Troy mentioned, the Google Drive integration doesn’t currently allow access to be granted to certain email addresses. There’s a feature request open for this though so I’ve added your vote for that.

I don’t know when/if that may be added to the Google Drive integration but we’ll be sure to notify you by email as soon as it has been! :)

Hi,
I would also like to add my vote for this feature.
When someone buys a produce in my woocommerce store I would like to give permission to a folder in my Google drive for that email.

I would also like to have access expire after 30 days, but one thing at a time...(;

Is there a formal place to vote? Right now when we create a client portal on a Google Workspace shared drive, my staff has to manually share the portal with the client - Zapier lacking the ability to do this automatically is a surprising omission.

 

Thanks, Carl.
