Condense New Files from Google Drive and Store the Summary in Google Sheets
Tracks Google Drive for newly added documents, utilizes AI to summarize their content, and stores these summaries in a Google Sheet for easy review and analysis.
How it works
This workflow is designed to automate the process of tracking newly added documents in Google Drive, summarizing their content using AI, and storing these summaries in a Google Sheet for easy access and analysis. The workflow operates as follows:
1. Trigger Node:
The workflow begins with a Google Drive Trigger node that monitors a specified folder for any new files. This node is configured to activate whenever a new document is added to the designated folder.
2. Google Drive Node:
Once triggered, the workflow retrieves the newly added file's metadata and content using a Google Drive node. This node fetches the file details necessary for processing.
3. AI Summarization Node:
The content of the document is then passed to an AI summarization node. This node utilizes an AI service to analyze the text and generate a concise summary of the document's content.
4. Google Sheets Node:
After the summary is generated, the workflow proceeds to a Google Sheets node. This node is configured to insert a new row into a specified Google Sheet, where it records the file's name and the corresponding summary.
5. Completion:
The workflow completes its execution after successfully storing the summary in the Google Sheet, providing a streamlined method for document review and analysis.
