Email by Zapier + Google Drive

Create Email alerts for new Google Drive files in a folder

Sometimes you and/or a colleague need to know when a new file is added to a Google Drive folder. Use Zapier to watch your Google Drive folder and generate an Email alert when a new file is added. All new files added after you set up this integration will trigger an Email alert. The email can be sent to multiple recipients, and optionally include the file as an attachment.
