1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating Google Drive with Google Sheets, first, access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate workflows seamlessly between applications.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Here, you will set up triggers and actions that define how your data will flow from Google Drive to Google Sheets.


2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger that will initiate the workflow. Select Google Drive as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect.

  • Choose “New File in a Specific Folder” as the event.
  • Connect your Google account by clicking on “Connect” and signing in.
  • Select the folder where your documents will be uploaded.

Once you have configured the trigger, save your settings. This will ensure that every time a new document is uploaded, it will activate the workflow you are creating.


3. Extracting Content Using Pabbly Connect

Next, you will set up an action step to extract content from the uploaded documents. Choose OpenAI as your action application in Pabbly Connect.

In the action event, select “Extract Content from PDF/Image”. You will need to connect to OpenAI by entering your API token, which you can generate from OpenAI’s API page.

  • Map the PDF URL from the Google Drive response.
  • Set a prompt for summarizing the document.
  • Ensure that the output is easy to understand and preserves important data.

After setting up the action, test it to ensure that the summary extraction works correctly before moving on to the next step.


4. Adding Extracted Data to Google Sheets

Now that you have the summarized content, it’s time to add it to Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets as your action application.

Choose the event “Add New Row”. Connect your Google Sheets account and select the spreadsheet where you want to store the summaries.

  • Map the file name and summary fields from the OpenAI response to the corresponding columns in your sheet.
  • Save your settings and test the action to confirm that the data is added correctly.

Once you have verified that the data is flowing correctly into Google Sheets, your integration is complete.
