I own a bookkeeping firm and was looking for a way to be notified when my clients uploaded their bank statements to our shared Google drive. I was under the impression that Google Workspace sends notifications, and had that setting turned on but it never worked; I have peers who experienced the same issue.
Started searching for why I wasn't getting notified, and found a solution in Google forums. Enter my new hero app, zzBots.
Before I got zzBots set up I was spending several minutes each week looking for uploaded bank statements from clients, granted it's only a few minutes but those minutes add up!
It took less than 10 minutes to get signed up with zzBots, set up my first bot (Google Drive Shared Files > Send Emails), and uploaded a file to test. WOW! Within seconds I got an email telling me a file was uploaded, plus the email includes a link directly to the file, and the file is attached to the email.
Now I can go about my other tasks, and when my client has time to upload documents, zzBots sends me an email. I have to admit zzBots has been removed a source of frustration because I'm no longer spending time looking at empty folders. :-)
Today I needed to monitor a different folder and didn't see how to do that right away. I opened a chat and Lorin was available chatting within seconds. I'm still on the free plan, but I am actively looking for ways to use zzBots to help streamline other parts of my business. Grateful and thankful to zzBots! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been using zzBots for over a month now, and no downsides. This is a great little app! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
