Save each attachment you receive in your Botize email account to Google Drive
No more hunting for lost files. Every attachment you email yourself, automatically where you need it.
Manually saving every attachment from your incoming emails is a tedious chore that eats up hours each week—especially if you get lots of important documents daily. Missing one critical file, or spending half your morning searching for the right attachment, is not just frustrating: it risks lost productivity, missed deadlines, and even compliance headaches if things slip through the cracks.
This Botize formula transforms your workflow by automatically extracting every attachment from emails sent to your personal Botize account and seamlessly saving them into your Google Drive. You stay in complete control: easily set filters for only the emails and attachments you care about, choose how often you want the automation to run, and customize storage folders to match your organization’s needs. No more manual downloads or sorting—everything’s neatly archived, secure, and instantly available for you or your team.
Ready to say goodbye to file chaos and reclaim your workday? Follow the step-by-step guide to set up this formula, or jump straight in with the pre-configured automation in Botize—it’s all ready for you to tailor to your routine. Let’s make email attachments effortless!

✓ Choose which Google Drive folder receives your files (set up separate folders for receipts, contracts, or photos).
✓ Filter by attachment type (save only images, PDFs, or specific file types, if you want).
✓ Set up notifications so you know when a new file arrives in your Drive.
This automation is triggered every time you send an email to your personal Botize email address (which you get as a Botize user). If the email contains any attachments, they are automatically extracted and saved to your Google Drive.
