How this automation works

Control Cloudflare zone proxying by adding files to a Google Drive folder. This Applet runs when a new non-Google Workspace file appears in the specified Google Drive folder and then pauses or resumes the Cloudflare zone you select. It's handy for scheduled maintenance or emergency changes, letting administrators trigger zone actions from Google Drive without signing into Cloudflare.
