1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate video uploads from Frame.io to Google Drive, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Create a free account to reach the dashboard where you can set up your automation workflow.

Once on the dashboard, click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it, for instance, ‘Frame.io to Google Drive’. Select the appropriate folder in your Pabbly Connect account to save this workflow and click ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Configuring the Trigger for Frame.io

In this section, you will configure the trigger using Pabbly Connect. First, select Frame.io as the application in the trigger window. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘New Asset’ from the dropdown menu.

• Select Frame.io from the app list.
• Choose ‘New Asset’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for future use.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL. Go to your Frame.io account, navigate to the developer section, and create a new webhook using this URL. This step is crucial for linking your Frame.io account with Pabbly Connect.

3. Testing the Frame.io Trigger

Now that you’ve set up the trigger, it’s time to test it. Upload a new asset in Frame.io to ensure that Pabbly Connect receives the webhook response. This response will contain details about the uploaded asset.

Upon uploading, check Pabbly Connect for a response indicating that the trigger has been activated. You should see information such as the asset ID and user ID. This confirms that the integration is functioning correctly.

4. Configuring the Action to Upload to Google Drive

After successfully testing the trigger, the next step is to configure the action to upload the video to Google Drive. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Drive as the application for the action step.

• Choose ‘Upload a File’ as the action event.
• Connect your Google Drive account to Pabbly Connect.
• Map the file URL and folder ID for the upload.

Make sure to use the original file URL you obtained from the Frame.io response. This ensures that the correct asset is uploaded to your specified Google Drive folder.

5. Finalizing and Testing the Integration

Once you have configured the action step, save your workflow in Pabbly Connect. To ensure everything is working seamlessly, perform a test by uploading another asset in Frame.io and checking if it appears in Google Drive.

After a few moments, refresh your Google Drive folder to verify that the newly uploaded asset from Frame.io is now available. This confirms that your automation is successfully set up and operational.

Conclusion

This tutorial demonstrates how to automate video uploads from Frame.io to Google Drive using Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can streamline your workflow and ensure that all assets are backed up efficiently.
