How to connect Google Cloud Storage and Gmail
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Cloud Storage and Gmail
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Cloud Storage, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Cloud Storage or Gmail will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Cloud Storage or Gmail, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Cloud Storage Node
Select the Google Cloud Storage node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the Google Cloud Storage and Gmail Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Cloud Storage, Gmail, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Cloud Storage and Gmail integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Cloud Storage and Gmail (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Cloud Storage and Gmail
Gmail + Google Cloud Storage + Google Docs: When a new email arrives with an attachment, the attachment is saved to a Google Cloud Storage bucket. A new Google Docs document is then created, containing a summary of the email's content.
Gmail + Google Cloud Storage + Slack: When a new email with an attachment arrives, the attachment is saved to a specified Google Cloud Storage folder. Subsequently, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel, informing users of the newly added file.
