How does this automation work?
Find Google Drive file or folder
Action
Send file to Slack
Action
Bardeen connects Google Drive with Slack, creating an efficient workflow to send files directly from Google Drive to a Slack user. With this playbook, you streamline the process and save time from manually downloading and uploading files. You can easily share necessary documents with your team, keeping everyone updated and facilitating better collaboration.
Here is how this workflow works:
- Find Google Drive File: The first step involves Google Drive, where a file or folder is searched based on a name that you provide. Google Drive is a file storage platform that keeps all your files organized and up to date.
- Send File to Slack: Next, Bardeen sends the file found in the previous step to a Slack recipient. You need to specify the recipient in Slack, a platform that simplifies team communication by connecting with other apps you use.
How to run the playbook
Need to quickly share a file with your colleague in Slack but don’t have time to look for it on Google Drive, download the file to your computer and then re-upload it to Slack?
With this automation, you can easily share any G Drive files without opening tabs and copy pasting and send the link to a Slack user, in one click. Just pick a file and choose a Slack recipient or channel. That’s it.
Let’s set up this automation!
Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Google Drive and Slack
First, click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Google Drive and Slack.
Launch Bardeen (or hit OPTİON + B on your keyboard) and click to run the playbook when you wish to share a G Drive file in Slack.
Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start.
Step 2: Run the playbook
Open the Bardeen extension (or hit OPTİON + B on your keyboard) and click “Run Playbook.”
It will prompt you to enter two arguments:
- Drivefile - The file you want to share. Just enter the file name in the search bar and click on the one you want to share.
- Recipient - The Slack user or channel you want to share your file with. Just enter the file name in the search bar to find the user.
Leave the “Remember Inputs” box empty, as you will most likely be sharing different files with multiple Slack users.
Enjoy!

FAQs
Youtube: Can I download a Youtube video to my computer using Bardeen?
Unfortunately, Bardeen is not able to download videos to your computer.
Scraper: If I scrape LinkedIn profiles, will they see me checking their profile?
Yes. Since Bardeen lives on your browser, Playbooks like "Enrich Linkedin links from a Google Sheet" open the Linkedin profiles in the background and scrape their information. This happens from your currently opened Linkedin account, so people can see you've visited their profile.
Bardeen - Playbook / Autobooks: Is it possible to create a Playbook that scrapes data from a website and sends it as an email attachment?
You can create a Bardeen Playbook to scrape data from a website and then send that data as an email attachment.
Google Sheets: What is the best way to export data to Google Sheets?
Exporting data (ex: scraped data or app data) from Bardeen to Google Sheets is possible with our action to “Add Rows to Google Sheets”.
Tables: Is it possible to save data from a Table to a CSV file?
This is possible! Edit your automation and add the "Convert table to CSV" action on the end. You should get the CSV once you run the playbook.
