Zapier is an inexpensive tool that allows two different applications from different vendors to exchange data and communicate with each other. Transifex has developed a Zapier App and as such, by using Zapier, Transifex can retrieve files from and send translation files to google drive. No coding is required. Configuration is a matter of selecting items from drop down lists. By using our Zapier integration the following can be accomplished:

1. Create new resources in Transifex simply by adding new content to Google Drive. The new content in Google Drive then gets pushed to Transifex, creating a new resource that is ready to be translated.
2. When content (strings) are added/removed to/from existing documents on Google Drive, this same content is then sent to the corresponding resource in Transifex.
3. When translations are completed, by using Zapier and Transifex’s web-hook integration, Transifex will automatically push completed translations to Google Drive using the naming convention of your choice.

In order to get started do the following:

1. Create a Zapier account using your e-mail address at [www.zapier.com](http://www.zapier.com).
2. Send an e-mail to [support@transifex.com](mailto:support@transifex.com) in order to get invited (gain access) to our Zapier application. Provide us with the e-mail address used in Step 1.
3. Create your automated workflow by following the detailed step by step instructions found [here](https://docs.transifex.com/transifex-integrations/zapier#continuous-automation-with-google-drive).
