Konomic + Google Drive

Automatically process PDFs when they're uploaded to Drive. OCR scanned documents, compress large files, merge batches — all triggered by Drive events.

Google Drive is where most teams store their PDFs. Konomic + Google Drive lets you automate the most common processing tasks: when a new PDF appears in a specific folder, it's automatically OCR-ed, compressed, or processed in whatever way you need.

Set up takes 5 minutes via Zapier or Make — no coding required.

WORKFLOW #1

Auto-OCR for scanned uploads

Trigger: New file in Drive folder "Scanned Documents"
