How to Rename Google Drive Files from Gmail: A Guide for Make.com Users

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have several invoices coming into your Gmail and you want to save them to Google Drive, but you just can't figure out how to rename all those incoming invoice files? Well, you're not alone. This is a common challenge many users face, and in this article, we'll walk you through a step-by-step solution to this problem.

Step 1: Add a Filter in Watch Emails Module

The first thing you want to do is add a filter in the Watch Emails Module. This filter will only forward an email with an attachment. This way, you can ensure that only the emails with the invoices you need are being forwarded.

Step 2: Use the Map Option in the Upload a File Module

Next, in the Upload a File Module, you can use the Map option to rename the file to your liking. For example, if you want to rename the file to 'invoice_date', you can do so in this step.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you find that only the first module is running even though you've saved all your changes, try right-clicking on the first module and selecting 'Choose where to start'. Then, select all the suitable options from there. If you're still having trouble, try opening the modules one by one to see what's configured. Sometimes, the solution can be easy to spot if you can see what's going on in each module.

If you're still having trouble, don't hesitate to reach out for help. Remember, there's no such thing as a silly question when it comes to troubleshooting tech issues!

Conclusion

In conclusion, renaming incoming invoice files saved to Google Drive from Gmail can be achieved by adding a filter in the Watch Emails Module and using the Map option in the Upload a File Module. Remember to check your modules if you're having trouble getting them all to run. We hope this guide has been helpful and has made your life a little bit easier!
