Connect Google Drive to Slack
Automate Google Drive and Slack with AI
When a folder in Google Drive is where the team drops deliverables, Operator on OpenClaw can watch that path and post a Slack message each time a new file appears, with a shared link and the uploader if Drive exposes it. Ask in Slack for the deck from Tuesday and it searches Drive, drops the link in thread, and can move the file into a review folder when someone approves.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between Google Drive and Slack, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from Google Drive, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Slack without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about Google Drive and Slack
- How do I connect Google Drive and Slack to Operator?
- You authorize Google Drive and Slack once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across Google Drive and Slack?
- Tell it the job and it moves between Google Drive and Slack as one task, choosing which actions to run on each side. There is nothing to map and no trigger to configure; you give instructions the way you would to a person.
- Can my agent keep Google Drive and Slack in sync?
- Yes. It can watch Google Drive and act in Slack, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
