Issues with workflow for posting random video from google drive folder to TikTok

Questions
1

I have a workflow that functions perfectly, but I can’t get it to operate on a schedule or recurring basis. The current trigger is to monitor the Google Drive folder for changes… but the folder has a long list of videos ready to be posted.
There aren’t any errors at the moment, I’m just having a difficult time changing the trigger to something that works. In its current state, the Google Drive change trigger is great because it passes along the video ID to the rest of the flow. When I incorporate the schedule trigger, the workflow loses the context of the ID.
How can I execute this workflow on a scheduled basis while maintaining the context of the Google Drive folder to pull from a pool of videos so that it can be posted?

Describe the problem/error/question

@ic891 why don’t you, instead of replacing the trigger, you can keep your Schedule Trigger and add a node at the very start to fetch a file from your Google Drive folder. This way, each time the schedule runs, it will pull one video from the pool and pass its ID through the rest of your workflow.

This sounds like a great solution. What node does this? I can’t find it in the google drive nodes.
