Recipes
When Google Drive reports "Changes to a specific file", create an item on the monday.com board you choose.
When an item's status changes in monday.com, run "Create shared drive" in Google Drive.
Keep Google Drive as it is. We connect it to monday.com.
We build the integration around what you already have. Google Drive keeps doing the job it does for you today, and monday.com gets the data it needs to plan and track the work around it.
Before we build, we agree which system owns each record. The integration then carries data between Google Drive and monday.com, so nobody copies it by hand.
Nothing your team relies on has to be replaced.
We highly recommend Worktables. They took the time to listen to all of our challenges and created an integrated system to manage all aspects of our operations.
What stays the same
Google Drive stays as it is
The integration connects to Google Drive the way you use it today. It moves the data, and nothing you rely on has to change.
Each record lives once
We agree which system owns each record before we build, so there is one right copy, not two.
Data arrives on its own
When data needs to reach the other side, the integration carries it. No exports, no re-keying.

Questions about connecting Google Drive
Do we have to replace anything?
No. Google Drive stays as it is, and so does monday.com. The integration carries data between them; it does not replace either one.
What if monday.com already offers an integration with Google Drive?
Then we start from what it covers. Where it does the job, we build on it; where your process needs more, we build around it.
Can we test it before it goes live?
Yes. We test on a copy of your board before the integration touches the live one.
Who looks after it once it is running?
We do. We watch it after launch, fix what breaks, and change it when your process changes. Every run is logged, so there is a record of what moved and when.
