Create maintenance document records from channel file uploads

Automatically detect file attachment messages across Slack and route them through document type recognition and register lookup in Google Sheets. Create and update versioned document records in your register and upload files to Google Drive—so you can track versions, keep links organized, and avoid manual file rework.

How this automation preserves your document versions
