The Save completed Zoom cloud recordings to Google Drive workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Zoom, Google Drive — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Zoom cloud recordings live in your Zoom account, which is not where most teams share files. Downloading each recording and uploading it to Drive by hand takes time and is easy to skip. This workflow moves the file for you once Zoom has finished processing it.

The Zoom trigger fires when a cloud recording is completed for a meeting or webinar. FlowMattic receives the recording details, including the file information Zoom sends. The Google Drive step then uploads a file to the folder you select, using the recording file you map from the trigger.

A Zoom recording can include more than one file, such as video, audio only or a chat log. The template has one upload step, so it saves the file you map into it. The workflow copies the recording and leaves the original in Zoom. After import, record a short test meeting and check that the file in Drive opens and plays before you rely on it.

Training sessions for new staff

Recorded onboarding calls are uploaded to a shared Drive folder, so new hires can watch them without needing access to the host's Zoom account.

Client meeting archive

An agency keeps every recorded client call in Drive, next to the project files for that client.

Webinar replays

Recorded webinars land in Drive, where your marketing team picks them up to edit or share as replays.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

To pass each recording on, add a Google Drive Share File step after the upload and map the uploaded file from the previous step. Test it on one recording first.
Add a Filter after the trigger that checks the meeting topic, so only certain series, such as webinars or team trainings, are copied to Drive.
Add a second Upload a File step if you also want the audio-only file or the chat log, mapping that file from the same Zoom trigger.

Questions about this workflow

Does this delete Zoom cloud recordings after the upload to Google Drive?

No. Drive receives a copy of the recording file. The recording stays in your Zoom account until you remove it there.

Which Zoom recording file is saved to Google Drive?

The one you map in the Upload a File step. Zoom can send several files for one recording, so pick the one you want, such as the video, and add more upload steps for others.

Do I need Zoom cloud recording turned on?

Yes. The trigger fires on completed cloud recordings, so meetings recorded only to a local computer do not start the workflow.

Are Zoom recordings made before I import this copied to Google Drive?

No. Only cloud recordings completed after the workflow is turned on are uploaded.
