Use cases
Google Drive + Tray
Google Drive is where teams store, share, and collaborate on files and folders across the organization. But document uploads, permission changes, and folder activity often depend on processes that live in other systems.
Tray extends Google Drive across your stack, connecting it to CRM, HR, ITSM, finance, and any other system you rely on. New files, updated documents, sharing changes, and folder activity can trigger orchestrated workflows, governed automations, and agents that take action across tools, while keeping Drive as the central content workspace.

Automations
Automations with Google Drive and Tray
Tray automates how files move, update, and sync across Drive and the rest of your environment. File uploads, renames, or deletions can start workflows that notify teams, trigger reviews, or update records in connected systems. Drive events can trigger workflows in real time or on a schedule depending on your setup. Tray uses timestamps and file IDs to maintain consistency across apps so every file action happens in order and under control. Workflows can include logic, branching, and approval steps to coordinate Drive actions with multiple connected systems.
