How this automation works

Capture new ideas automatically by turning each new Google Docs file into a note in FuseBase. This Applet runs whenever a new document is added to your chosen Google Drive folder and creates a corresponding note in FuseBase with the document’s details. Perfect for keeping all your written work organized and accessible across both services.
