The different courses are well defined, easily searchable, and the titles are useful. The content can get a bit long, and theoretical from time to time but mostly they try to keep it to bite-sized chunks with small quizzes to help you retain what you just read.

Archive documents with the Archive to Save to Google Drive Bot to save time

robotic process automation (RPA) has entered the market full-steam-ahead as a solution to repetitive, manual tasks. Over the last few years, it has helped thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of businesses get to the next level and achieve higher goals that they couldn’t achieve without it. Companies that manage to get into a position where they’re spending less time and resources to complete tasks, become more attractive to customers. RPA has brought on a new wave of market competitiveness. It’s not enough to just be the best in terms of quality. If your business isn’t efficient too, potential customers and clients will go elsewhere.

RPA tools work through microprograms, called Bots. airSlate employs two types of them:
  1. Automation to configure specific processes and run them without human intervention.
  2. Integration to create routes that link airSlate with other platforms to ensure smooth data transfer.

The Save to Google Drive Bot falls into the integration category and enables users to archive documents directly to Google Drive once they are completed. The robotic microprogram frees up to several days of manual work when it’s set up correctly by eliminating the need to manually pull data from one source and push it to another; however, it requires no more than 10 minutes to configure.

Free up time with a Bot: automatically archive scanned documents and forms

airSlate is a unique RPA solution that integrates with many other platforms, including a large variety of cloud storage services. Use airSlate to streamline workflows and business processes, and archive documents to OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and/or Box. Having automatic, no-code integration with the most popular cloud storage services is a huge plus.

Once a user completes a form or adds scanned documents, the Bot automatically archives scanned documents and forms to the cloud. It works with all major file formats and even zip files. With airSlate, you no longer have to waste time uploading zip files to Google Drive.

Aside from time-saving functionality and enhanced efficiency, the Archive to Save to Google Drive Bot has other benefits:
  1. Eliminates human-prone errors
  2. Reduces operational costs
  3. Improves data quality
  4. Enhances accuracy
  5. Boosts workflow consistency

Regardless of the industry, airSlate has proven to be a reliable resource in helping companies boost efficiency and transform manual and time-consuming tasks into smooth and well-organized processes with cinfigurable Bots, like the one mentioned here aimed at streamlining how you archive documents to your drive. It’s been used by thousands of companies, including Xerox, AMGEN, First Data and others for both internal and external purposes.

A Google Drive bot is a microprogram that allows users to receive notifications in Google Chat about actions taking place in their Drives. When turned on, it informs you about people sharing their own documents with you or requesting access to your files. To use this option, you first need to ask for permission to install the bot from your Google Workspace admin. After that, find it in the bot library and apply it to your Drive.

Most people save their documents in Google Drive manually, simply dragging and dropping them to a selected cloud folder.

You can either select an existing folder in your Google Drive (the tool will show them in a dropdown list) or create a new one by clicking the appropriate button. Type in the name of your folder. There’s also an option of auto-generating a folder name with a placeholder populated with data from specific form fields.
