Need guidance: G-drive trigger

[ramdhan_rz]

I want to make the trigger that whenever there are new folder in G-drive, then it will directly go to PDF reader process, any idea where I missing this? as currently the trigger flow is not working due to can’t find any data

Hey @ramdhan_rz - Just to confirm, the Google Drive Folder Reader node triggers the flow when a new file is uploaded to the selected folder, not when a new folder is uploaded.

That said, if your flow is not being triggered when a new file is uploaded try the following:

• Check the https://www.gumloop.com/history page for triggered runs.

If there are no triggered runs then:

• Disable the trigger on the drive node and save the workflow
  • Once you save, you’ll notice the trigger would disappear from the top panel
• Once the trigger is disabled, delete the drive node and add it back from the node library
• Enable the trigger and hit save
  • You’ll notice the trigger would appear on the top panel

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi @Wasay-Gumloop thanks for fast response, my folder structure is whenever form submitted it will create one new folder, and the files that i want to read is inside that folder, so I want to make like whenever new folder got create i want to ocr some of the document

The trigger might not work in this case since it only reads files from the parent folder.

How is the folder automatically created when a form is submitted, is through an appscript? You might want to look into the webhook trigger then: https://docs.gumloop.com/api-reference/getting-started

Actually the folder automatically created when there are a Jotform got submited, so is there any workaround for this? or it is possible if we create a google form form uploading document and directly run the flow whenever there are a forms got executed?

I don’t see a workaround for the drive trigger but the form trigger might work. You can use the webhook trigger, connect it with Jotform and it’ll trigger the workflow whenever a new form is submitted.
