Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I want to automatically send a notification to Slack whenever a new file is added to a specific folder in Google Drive. The problem is that I’m facing an issue when downloading a file—it gives me an error. How can I solve this? ![Integration-Google-Drive-Make](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/8/b/8bc020652f85a1be264460fb19ea5bfdcca6ed60.png) ---

What kind of error do you receive? How does the input and output of the modules look like? ---

Hello, the file is downloading but not opening. ---

The screen shot doesn’t show any download module. You need to use the download file module and then map the file to slack ---

@samliew Thank you for this. There is one thing in the second module of File ID. We also have to select the file, but this is not what I am looking for. I want the file to be sent to Slack automatically whenever a new file is uploaded to a specific folder in Google Drive. ![Integration-Google-Drive-Make (1)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/a/c/aca7800af27c9fda1e017f8979926ebbf457e734.jpeg) ---

If you have any internships or tasks for me to practice, I would love to do them. Excellent! Perhaps you can practice and give back by providing solutions to other less-experienced forum members here in this forum too. ---
