Automation Templates#

The templates are easy to set up. Below are the 10 available templates with a quick “How to use” for each. Start with the simplest pattern, then layer additional ones as your file governance matures.

Remember → The Google Drive Folder Link is the link in your browser's URL bar (not a shortened/share link). It looks like: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a‑V2wDjCp......

Embed a Google Drive Folder per ItemNEW FEATURE#

You can now embed a live Google Drive folder directly inside each monday item—different items can display different folders.

Watch the short GIF below for a quick walkthrough.

Embedding a unique Google Drive folder inside an item

Tip: Keep folder permissions managed in Drive. The embed reflects the user’s Google access—restricted folders won’t expose contents to unauthorized users.

Note: Repeat on other items to embed different folders per item.

  • Gives you a quick overview of the Google Drive folder
  • You can attach a different folder to each item
  1. 1
    Open an item and add the Google Drive Integration view (or open it if already added).
  2. 2
    In the URL section, paste the target Drive folder URL (must match the Folder Link format below — use the full browser URL).
  3. 3
    Click Save.

Connect a Different Google Account#

  1. 1
    On Google Drive, click the settings icon (top right).
  2. 2
    Go to 'Manage Apps' and find 'Integration for Google Drive'.
  3. 3
    Click 'Options' → 'Disconnect from Drive'. Then reconnect inside the monday.com app view with the new account.

Best Practices#

  • Pick one Main Drive Folder (top-level folder everything goes under). Copy its URL into the Folder Link column once.
  • Use clear folder names (e.g. {{Item Name}} – {{Group}}).
  • Add automations one at a time; test each before adding the next.

Troubleshooting#

  • Templates not showing: Refresh the board or reconnect your Google account; wait 30–60s.
  • Folder not created: You don’t have edit access to the Main Drive Folder (open it in Drive—can you create a folder manually?).
  • Files didn’t sync: Make sure there are actually files in that file column.
  • Rename didn’t work: Folder was renamed directly in Drive—open the item and re-run the automation or reconnect.
  • Still stuck: Email support@fortimus.co (include board URL + which automation failed).
