Multiple Google Drive Documents

Questions

Hello everyone!

I have a quick (and maybe totally easy) question: I’d like to use two documents simultaneously within one workflow in order to compare their data. For example, one document might be a PDF and the other an Excel file.

Unfortunately, I’m always stuck with a fundamental issue: how do I get two documents into the workflow simultaneously?

  • Using the trigger, it only activates one document at a time—I can’t trigger it twice simultaneously, right?
  • ChatGPT always suggests using the “List” operation, but that doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

What alternative method can I use to pull two documents (for instance, from either the same or different Google Drive folders, or from other sources) into a single workflow?

Thanks in advance!
Fabian

Welcome to the community!

There is also a normal google drive no to retrieve files. You can use that to get as many documents as you want.

A trigger can indeed only run once for a flow, as that is what triggers it to start.

The List operation the GPT is mentioning is probably from the normal node to list documents that are available in your google drive.
