How to connect OpenAI GPT Assistants and Google Drive
Create a New Scenario to Connect OpenAI GPT Assistants and Google Drive
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

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

Add the OpenAI GPT Assistants Node
Select the OpenAI GPT Assistants node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the OpenAI GPT Assistants and Google Drive 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 donβt 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 OpenAI GPT Assistants, Google Drive, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the OpenAI GPT Assistants and Google Drive integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OpenAI GPT Assistants 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 OpenAI GPT Assistants and Google Drive
OpenAI GPT Assistants + Google Drive + Slack: When a new message is created in an OpenAI GPT Assistant thread, the flow retrieves the message content. Then, it creates a new file in Google Drive containing the summarized conversation. Finally, it sends a notification to a Slack channel with a link to the saved summary.
Google Drive + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Google Sheets: When a new file is added to a specific folder in Google Drive, the content of the file is extracted. Then, the content is sent to an OpenAI GPT Assistant for analysis. Finally, the insights from the AI analysis are recorded into a new row in a Google Sheet.
