Zapier Integration
Automatically rename files when they are uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox, or any of 5000+ apps. Create powerful automation workflows that keep your files organized without manual work.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a paid Zapier plan?
- Free Zapier plans support basic zaps with 100 tasks/month. For higher volume and multi-step zaps, a paid plan is recommended.
- How quickly are files processed?
- Zapier checks for new files every 1-15 minutes depending on your plan. Processing typically completes in under 10 seconds once triggered.
- Can I preview the renamed file before saving?
- Yes. You can configure Zapier to send the proposed name to Slack or email for approval before the final write step.
- What file types are supported?
- PDFs, images (JPG, PNG), Word docs, and Excel files. OCR+LLM extracts text from scanned docs automatically.
