Google Drive Node Documentation

The Google Drive node in Lamatic automates fetching and synchronizing files from Google Drive. It supports various file types, including Google Docs, Slides, Word Documents, PDFs, and text files. This node enables regular file synchronization to support vectorization and indexing for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) flows.

Features

✅ Key Functionalities

• Batch Trigger: Automates file fetching and synchronization on a schedule.
• File Type Support: Handles Google Docs, Slides, Word Documents, PDFs, and text files.

✅ Benefits

• Streamlines file collection from Google Drive.
• Prepares files for vectorization and indexing to enhance RAG flows.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the Google Drive node, ensure you have the following:

• Google Drive credentials for accessing the desired folder.
• The target folder URL from Google Drive.
• An understanding of Cron expressions for scheduling flows.
