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!

The online chat led to screen sharing until we were certain that my objective had been met. Was so surprised that they would offer that level of guidance when I haven't even got a paid membership yet.

zzBots has an extremely intuitive UI that makes it easy to set-up automated syncs from Google Sheets to Airtable. I ran into some issues (user error) while creating my first Bot and the customer service was extremely helpful and responsive in fixing my problem. We were able to work through it no problem.
