The Technical Overview:

• The Google Drive Trigger establishes a secure connection to your Google Drive account
• You configure which events to monitor: file creation, modification, deletion, or any combination
• When a matching event occurs, the trigger activates your custom n8n workflow
• Your workflow can then perform actions like: sending notifications, updating databases, triggering approvals, or processing file contents
• All of this happens automatically, without manual intervention

Integration Capabilities:

• Works with both personal Google Drive accounts and Google Workspace business accounts
• Monitors folders recursively or specific locations based on your configuration
• Filters events by file type, naming patterns, or other criteria to trigger only relevant workflows
• Provides rich context data about the file and the event to inform downstream processes
