How it works

Logic

Detect New File Additions

Whenever a new file is added to the monitored Google Drive folder, the automation detects this change and retrieves the file's metadata, such as the file name, size, and type.

3
Action

Transform File Data

The automation processes the file metadata, preparing it in a format suitable for posting to the Telegram channel. This may include formatting the file details, generating a caption, or other transformations to ensure the content is ready for sharing.

4
Action

Post to Telegram Channel

Finally, the automation posts the new file and its associated information to the designated Telegram channel, making the content available to the target audience.
