For each new incoming email, it downloads any linked PDF it finds and uploads it to Google Drive

Every PDF sent to your inbox instantly lands in your Google Drive, no clicks, no fuss. Just magic.

  • Instantly when the trigger is activated
  • Instantly when a new message is received in your personal Botize email (btzmail → webhook)
  • Get URLs from text (btztextparser → get_urls)
  • Save file to Drive (drive → upload_file)

If you regularly receive emails containing important PDFs—be it contracts, invoices, reports, or statements—the manual grind of scanning your inbox, hunting for those links, downloading files, and then uploading each to Google Drive is a massive drag on your day. It’s tedious, error-prone, and when deadlines hit or audits loom, that lost time and missed documents can cost you credibility, money, and peace of mind. Every overlooked attachment risks putting vital information out of sight and slows collaboration to a crawl.

This Botize formula acts as your always-on digital assistant, instantly detecting new emails sent to your unique Botize address, auto-finding any PDF link within the body, downloading the doc, and uploading it straight to Google Drive—no clicks, copying, or manual saves required. The process is fully customizable: set how often it checks your inbox, apply filters to process only specific senders or subjects, and control file naming conventions to fit your workflow. Your PDFs land neatly organized, searchable, and shareable, giving you back hours and removing the risk of lost data.

Take the hassle out of managing your incoming PDFs—just follow the simple step-by-step with this formula and everything will flow automatically from email to Google Drive. Want to skip the setup? You’ll find a ready-to-use version in Botize that launches this time-saving system in moments. Get started and focus on growing your business instead of sorting your inbox!
