Automate with Google Drive

Google Drive is the filing cabinet of your business. NVS automates around it — creating folder structures automatically, syncing files across tools, and triggering workflows the moment a document changes.

Use Cases

01

New File → AI RAG Ingestion by MIME Type

Every file added to the monitored Drive folder is checked by type: PDFs are parsed, Google Docs exported as text, and plain files used directly. Content is chunked, embedded, and indexed into Pinecone.

Trigger
File Created
google-drive.trigger
Google Drive fires when a new file is added to the monitored folder.
Read File
google-drive.download
File content downloaded from Drive for processing.
Switch
File Type
nvs.switch
Routes each file to the correct extraction path by MIME type.
PDF
Parse PDF
nvs.extract
PDF text extracted page-by-page using the Extract from File node.
Output
Embed & Index
pinecone.upsert
Text chunked, embedded via OpenAI, and indexed into Pinecone vector store.
Google Doc
Export as Text
google-docs.export
Google Doc exported as plain text via Docs API.
Output
Embed & Index
pinecone.upsert
Text chunked, embedded via OpenAI, and indexed into Pinecone vector store.

02

Monitor Changed Files with Size Guard

Every 30 minutes, files changed since the last run are detected. Each is checked. Files over 10MB trigger a Slack warning while smaller files are backed up automatically.

List Changed Files
google-drive.list
Files modified since the last_run timestamp are returned.
IF
Files Found?
nvs.condition
Avoids processing when nothing has changed since last poll.
NO
Output
No Action
nvs.end
No changed files. Workflow exits without any processing.
YES
Loop
Each File
nvs.loop
Processes every changed file to back it up or alert on size.
IF
File > 10MB?
nvs.condition
Large files need a manual review before backup to avoid storage issues.
YES
Output
Alert: Large File
slack.message
Slack alert: 'Large file detected: {{name}}, {{size}} — review before backup'.
NO
Output
Back Up File
http.request
File uploaded to backup destination via HTTP POST.
03

Contract Signed → File + CRM Update

When DocuSign marks a contract as signed, it's automatically moved to the correct client folder in Drive, the HubSpot deal is updated, and the team is notified in Slack. Zero manual steps.

Trigger
Contract Signed

DocuSign fires when a recipient completes signing the contract.
Move to Client Folder
google-drive.move
Signed PDF moved from the staging folder to the client's dedicated Drive folder.
Update Deal
