Follow these 2 simple steps to save approved media assets to your Google Drive

Media Approved
App connector: Fera • Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)
Why this matters: This trigger detects when media gets approved in Fera, starting the entire workflow and capturing all the asset details needed for storage.

When media gets approved in your Fera system, this trigger automatically captures the approval event and gathers information about the approved asset, including its URL and filename. The trigger runs instantly when the approval happens, so there's no delay between approval and the workflow starting. All the media details get passed to the next step for processing and storage.

Save File
App connector: Google Drive • Time to complete: 2 minutes
Why this matters: This action takes the approved media asset and creates a permanent copy in your Google Drive, ensuring you have organized access to all approved content.

This step connects to your Google Drive account and saves the approved media file using the original filename from Fera. You'll need to authenticate your Google Drive account and choose which folder you want the files saved to - you can select an existing folder or let it save to your main Drive. The workflow automatically handles downloading the file from Fera's URL and uploading it to your specified Google Drive location with the correct filename preserved.

Make it your own

Customize this workflow even further:

Schedule batch processing
Set up time delays to collect multiple approvals throughout the day and process them in batches, reducing the number of individual file operations.
Add smart folder organization
Use conditional logic to automatically sort approved media into different Drive folders based on file type, approval date, or custom Fera tags.
Store approval metadata in sheets
Create a tracking spreadsheet that logs approval dates, file details, and reviewer information alongside the file storage for better content management.
Deploy AI for content analysis
Let AI agents analyze approved media content and automatically add descriptive filenames, tags, or categorization before saving to Drive.

Frequently asked questions

Will the workflow preserve the original file format and quality?
Yes, the workflow downloads the exact file from Fera's URL and uploads it to Google Drive without any compression or format changes. Your approved images, videos, and other media maintain their original quality and file format.
Can I organize files into different Google Drive folders automatically?
Currently this workflow saves all files to one designated folder, but you can modify it to use conditional logic that sorts files into different folders based on file type, Fera tags, or approval date using MESA's built-in folder selection tools.
What happens if the same filename already exists in my Google Drive?
Google Drive will automatically rename the new file by adding a number (like "image(1).jpg") to prevent overwriting. The workflow won't fail, but you might want to set up custom naming conventions using Fera's metadata to avoid duplicates.
