Google Drive folder Reader

Get Help Bug
1

I am trying to create a workflow in gumloop but I have been having a lot of issues as of late:
workbook: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id=9MYcmXDvGMoKXGqCwYfXCH&workbook_id=nPeQ49jcXnxrRgDHq1uVJL&tab=1

The google drive folder reader just only reads a single file even though there are more than one file directly under the parent folder

It would be great if I could get some clarity on these issues

Hey @Radvin18tid! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

  1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

  2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

  3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: https://www.gumloop.com/history

Hey @Radvin18tid –

  1. Are the files on separate subfolders? If so you’d have to enable Read All Subfolders under Show More Options on the Drive node:

  1. As for the error, the Filter node failed here because the input did not meet the condition (https://docs.google.com/document) hence there was nothing available to output. I believe this should be resolved once you read all the files.

Additionally, I’d recommend giving this a quick read, it’s helpful for debugging flows and checking outputs from the run log: Run Log Doc.

Let me know if that is helpful or if you run into anything else.

Hi Wasay,

All my files are located directly under the parent folder and so I did not have to turn on the “Subfolder” option. Weirdly enough, the folder reader is reading all the files within the folder today. I am not sure what has happened here.

Additionally, I would like to share feedback regarding the run logs, it is not very easy sometimes to identify the issue most of the time.

Having said that, you guys are still doing a great job and I am having a great time creating.

Thanks,
Radha

Makes sense. We have plans to improve the run log, if you want anything specific please feel free to share!
