1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Gmail to OneDrive Integration

To save Gmail attachments to OneDrive, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button, which allows you to create an account quickly.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. This is where you will set up the integration between Gmail and OneDrive using Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus icon to create a new folder for your workflow, naming it ‘Gmail to OneDrive’.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a workflow named ‘Save Gmail Attachments to OneDrive’. Select the folder you created earlier, and click on ‘Create’. This action will take you to a new window where you can define the trigger and action for the integration.

• Trigger Application: Email Parser
• Action Application: OneDrive

After selecting Email Parser as the trigger application, you will receive a unique email hook from Pabbly Connect. Copy this email hook to connect your Gmail account with Pabbly Connect. This email hook acts as a bridge to capture incoming emails.

3. Setting Up Email Forwarding in Gmail

Next, you need to set up email forwarding in your Gmail account. Go to Gmail settings, click on ‘See All Settings’, and then navigate to the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab. Here, click on ‘Add a forwarding address’ and paste the email hook you copied from Pabbly Connect.

• Click ‘Next’ to verify the forwarding address.
• Confirm the forwarding request via the email sent to your Pabbly Connect email hook.

After confirming, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Re-capture Email Parser Response’. This step ensures that the integration captures emails sent to the forwarding address. Sending a test email with an attachment will validate the setup.

4. Filtering Attachments with Pabbly Connect

Once the email is received, the next step is to filter the attachments using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Filter by Pabbly Connect’ as the action application. This feature allows you to set conditions to ensure that only specific emails (like invoices) are processed.

Set the filter conditions as follows:

Label: Attachment Filter Type: Exists Subject: Equal to ‘Invoice Attached’

After setting these conditions, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the filter works as intended. If successful, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that the conditions are true.

5. Uploading Files to OneDrive with Pabbly Connect

The final step involves uploading the filtered attachment to your OneDrive account using Pabbly Connect. Select Microsoft OneDrive as the action application and choose the action event ‘Upload a File’. You will need to connect your OneDrive account to Pabbly Connect.

After establishing the connection, select the folder in OneDrive where you want to save the attachments. Enter a file name, such as ‘Invoice.pdf’, and map the file URL from the email parser response. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to upload the file.

Once completed, check your OneDrive account to confirm that the invoice has been successfully uploaded. This integration allows you to save Gmail attachments directly to OneDrive automatically, streamlining your workflow using Pabbly Connect.
