This Latenode automation template allows users to automatically upload new files shared in a Slack workspace to a designated folder in their Google Drive.
Whenever a new file is uploaded to a Slack channel, the workflow will detect the new file, download it, and then save a copy to the specified Google Drive folder. This helps ensure important files are backed up and accessible across multiple platforms, streamlining collaboration and file management for Slack and Google Drive users.
Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
