File Outlook attachments to Drive and open a review task
Catches emails carrying attachments, saves the files to an organized Google Drive folder, summarizes what each document contains.

What it does
Document-bearing emails create two jobs: store the file and remember to act on it. This workflow does both. It detects emails with attachments, uploads each file to a dated Google Drive folder, uses an LLM to summarize the document's contents, and opens an Asana review task linking straight to the stored copy so the work item and the source file never drift apart.
When to use it
Use it when contracts, invoices, reports, or specs arrive by email and routinely get lost in the inbox instead of being filed and acted on. It suits ops, finance, and legal coordinators who handle a steady stream of inbound documents.
How it works
- 1A new Outlook email triggers the run.
- 2A logic step checks for attachments and exits if there are none.
- 3A Google Drive action uploads each attachment into an organized folder.
- 4An OpenAI step summarizes the document and proposes a task title.
- 5An Asana action creates a review task carrying the summary and the Drive link.
- 6The task and stored-file links are returned as output.
