I basically want to use a form to trigger the automation. Form Webhook → HTTP Request Download File → Upload a Spreadsheet to Google Drive → Somehow get the google sheet id → work with it to fire off some other automations. ---

Welcome to the Make community! The Google Drive “ **Upload a file** ” module should output a File ID when it’s successful. You can simply map this id variable into a subsequent module. I would suggest completing the [Make Academy](https://academy.make.com/) before jumping into building a complete scenario. If you need **specific assistance** when you are **building a scenario** it’s easier to help you then. Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too — ### Learn Make - [Help Centre](https://help.make.com) | [Tutorials](https://help.make.com/create-your-first-scenario) – Make’s “manual” - search for help here first - [Make Academy](https://academy.make.com) – Basics 101: Learn Make properly to get your money’s worth - [Mapping](https://help.make.com/mapping) – What is mapping?

Hi @ImAlexStorey ,When you upload a file to Google Drive, it returns a **File ID** , which serves as your **Sheet ID**. You can use this ID in the next module to reference the specific sheet. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/a/a/aaed94092b2cb7a24c01912f05b7207257b0702d.png) If you also need to handle subsheets dynamically, you can use the **“List Sheets”** module and pass the **Drive File ID** — this will return all the subsheets within that file. In the following step, you can then use both the **File ID** and **Sheet Name** to **update** or **search** records using the appropriate sheet module. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/9/0/9035cdc65ce2ab935672f1a68dd7711656ae1eba.png) **Thank you.** ---
