How do I create a Zap that reads an Excel file from Google Drive and creates a Flokzu instance based on the data?

M

Hello, I need to build a zap that detects when I upload a file to a specific drive folder, read all the rows of this document (Excel) and based on that data create an instance in Flokzu. I’m able to detect a new file and I’m able to create a Flokzu’s instance but I’m not able to connect both

Thanks in advance

If the GSheet is in a CSV format, then you can use Files by Zapier actions to get the rows:

If you need to process each row, then use the Looping app: https://zapier.com/apps/looping/help
