workflow is created by WeblineIndia, it streamlines and automates the end-to-end process of managing recently added document files in Google Drive. It begins by identifying the most recently uploaded .doc file in a designated folder within Google Drive. The document's content is then directly retrieved and passed through an AI-powered summarization model that condenses the content into a concise and meaningful summary. Finally, the summarized content, along with relevant metadata such as the document's name, upload date, and other details, is systematically stored in a Google Sheet. This ensures easy reference, enhanced organization, and quick access to key information, making it an ideal solution for managing and summarizing large volumes of document data efficiently."}, "typeVersion": 1}], "active": true, "pinData": {}, "settings": {"executionOrder": "v1"}, "versionId": "e3318ab1-ef09-4207-9419-411208c35aab", "connections": {"Wikipedia": {"ai_tool": [[{"node": "Generate Summary AI", "type": "ai_tool", "index": 0}]]}, "Calculator": {"ai_tool": [[{"node": "Generate Summary AI", "type": "ai_tool", "index": 0}]]}, "Google Docs": {"main": [[{"node": "Generate Summary AI", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Google Drive ": {"main": [[{"node": "Google Docs", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Generate Summary AI": {"main": [[{"node": "Google Sheets", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
