  • 1.  Alerts for new files in shared drive

    Posted 03-20-2024 13:20

    @Steve Iwanowski - Would this work to alert group members of new files in the shared Google Drive by pointing the output as an email to our Google group list of read-only members?

    I believe it would, but is emailing everyone in that list of every new file what we want to accomplish? I was thinking a daily posting in the community of new/changed files.

    I think you're right - sending out too many emails would cause everyone to ignore them.

    Agreed that we shouldn't send e-mail notifications every time a file is added, unless we set it up to allow each user to specify their preference.  Or maybe we could have an ongoing 90 Minds thread that Google writes to every time a file is added.  What also might be nice is if you could opt in to receive periodic e-mails (weekly? monthly?) that lists all new files in some manner.  And/or it could be beneficial if you could easily pull something up in Google to see the most recently added files.
