Trigger
OneDrive File Created Trigger
Triggers when a new file is created in OneDrive. Uses Gmail-style state management for reliable duplicate prevention.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Important files arrive without the people who need them knowing, leading to repeated follow-ups and delays.
- Let collaborators know a file is ready without sending a separate manual email.
- Include file details available in the trigger data.
- Reduce status checks and missed handoffs.
