How to connect Google Groups and Google Drive
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Groups and Google Drive
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 Groups, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Groups or Google Drive will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Groups or Google Drive, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, Google Drive, 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 Groups and Google Drive integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups and Google Drive (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Groups and Google Drive
Google Groups + Google Drive + Slack: When a new message is posted in a Google Group, the automation saves the message content as a text file in a specified Google Drive folder and then sends a notification to a Slack channel with a link to the created file.
Google Groups + Google Drive + Google Sheets: Whenever a new file is added to a specific Google Drive folder, the automation checks for new messages in a specific Google Group and logs the names of the matched files into a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
