Google Drive

Connect Google Drive to Riff to build file workflows: summarise folders, classify documents, extract tables, and loop results back to Drive. Riff handles the OAuth, stores tokens securely, and wires Drive into your apps, automations, and agents.

What you can build (fast)

• Weekly folder summaries

• File classification and indexing

• PDF table extraction to CSV

Drive Folder Summarizer

Create a Drive Folder Summarizer that scans a Google Drive folder, summarises recent docs, and produces a weekly brief as a PDF stored back in Drive. Trigger weekly on Friday at 16:00.

File

Classifier

Create a File Classifier that reads new files in a Google Drive folder, tags them by type (invoice, contract, spec), and writes a CSV index to Drive. Trigger every hour.

PDF → Table Automation

Create a PDF to Table Automation that extracts tables from PDFs in a Drive folder, converts them to CSV, stores results in Drive, and posts a Slack link. Trigger on new file.

Riff uses OAuth; tokens are stored securely and handled by the Integrations system.

How Riff wires Drive for you (under the hood)

• Sets up OAuth and stores tokens in Secrets/Integrations

• Adds minimal scopes, verifies, test action

• Exposes Drive to tasks, automations, and agents

Security notes

• Drive may include private files (e.g., financial, medical, photos, tax info)

• Frontend never sees secrets

• Least-privilege scopes
