1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To get started with receiving notifications on Google Chat when a new file is uploaded in OneDrive, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to seamlessly integrate different applications, automating your workflow effectively.

First, go to the Pabbly Connect website. If you are a new user, sign up for a free account to access the features. Existing users can simply log in. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To set up the integration, click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ in Pabbly Connect. You will need to name your workflow something like ‘Auto Send Notification on Google Chat’. This name helps you identify the workflow later.

After naming your workflow, you will see two boxes: one for the trigger and one for the action. The trigger will be set to OneDrive, and the action will be set to Google Chat. This means that whenever a new file is uploaded to OneDrive, a notification will be sent to Google Chat.

• Click on ‘Add a New Connection’ for OneDrive.
• Select your OneDrive account and allow access.
• Set the folder path where files will be uploaded.

Once you complete these steps, you will be ready to move to the next part of the integration.

3. Setting Up OneDrive Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the OneDrive trigger using Pabbly Connect. Select OneDrive from the trigger application options. You will need to specify the folder path where the new files will be uploaded. Make sure you enter the correct path to ensure the automation works properly.

After entering the folder path, select the event type as ‘New File Created’. This tells Pabbly Connect to monitor that specific folder for any new uploads. Click on the button to capture the details, and if the folder is empty, you can upload a test file to see if the integration works.

• Upload a file to the specified OneDrive folder.
• Click on the capture button again to see the file details.
• Ensure the file details are captured correctly.

Once the file details are captured, you can proceed to set up the action step for Google Chat notifications.

4. Setting Up Google Chat Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that your OneDrive trigger is set, it’s time to set up the action to send notifications to Google Chat using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Chat as the action application and choose the ‘Create Message’ action event.

You will need to connect your Google Chat account by clicking on the connect button. If you are already logged into your Google account, you can proceed to provide the necessary permissions. Next, you will need to obtain the chat webhook URL from your Google Chat space where you want to receive notifications.

Open your Google Chat space and go to ‘Apps and Integration’. Click on ‘Manage Webhooks’ and create a new webhook. Copy the generated webhook URL and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

After pasting the webhook URL, compose your notification message, mapping the folder name and file URL to personalize it. Save and send a test request to ensure everything is set up correctly.
