Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Google Drive, Kintone, 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 Drive and Kintone integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Drive and Kintone (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Google Drive and Kintone

Google Drive + Kintone + Slack: When a new file is added to a specific folder in Google Drive, the automation checks if the file is related to a Kintone project by searching Kintone records. If a matching Kintone record is found, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel, notifying the team about the new file and its corresponding project.

Kintone + Google Docs + Google Drive: When a new record is created in Kintone, this automation creates a new Google Doc using data from that record. The newly created Google Doc is then saved to a specific folder in Google Drive.
