Tip only: Gmail + Drive — find the emailed file, file it
A colleague swears the file is missing from Drive — it was sitting in your mail.
What hurt
Ben Van Someren (@vansomerenb) said Grok Bot handles Gmail and Google Drive well. A colleague emailed that a file was not in the Drive folder — it should have been, because it had been mailed to him. One request: look for it and prove him wrong. The bot found it multiple times, then updated the Drive folder. Tip only — no invented prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Connect Gmail + Drive. One ask: search mail for the attachment, put it in the named folder. You approve the Drive write.
Bots
Find-and-file desk
Searches Gmail for the named attachment. Stages the Drive folder update. Stops before irreversible writes.
Plugins
Gmail
Required
Files
Named Drive folder + the file/title the colleague said was missing.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/vansomerenb/status/2100748357199143162. Tip only.
- 2Connect Gmail and Google Drive on one bot. Name the folder and the missing file.
- 3Ask it to search mail for the attachment and show you the hits — do not invent a search prompt.
- 4Review the matches. Approve the Drive folder update only if the file is the right one.
- 5Mail send and extra Drive moves stay behind your yes.
Approval fence
Mail search may run. Creating, moving, or overwriting Drive files waits for your yes. No send.
What to tweak
Steal one-request find-and-file. Search can be eager; folder writes wait for you.
