The automation monitors a specific Google Drive folder for any new file uploads. It continuously checks this folder for changes, waiting to detect when a new file is added.
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.
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.
Finally, the automation posts the new file and its associated information to the designated Telegram channel, making the content available to the target audience.
