Document imports

Import Google Drive files into Wavefront

Import Google Docs, PDFs and text files you pick as reference documents that drafts read.

OAuth (Google, per-file access)

What it does

Import brand guides, product facts and briefs from Google Drive so drafts can read them. You pick files in Google's own file picker, and Wavefront can open only those files.

Each file becomes a workspace document that names its source. Turn on daily resync and changes in Drive follow.

Before you start

  • Owner role in the Wavefront workspace to connect
  • A Google account

How to connect Google Drive

  1. In Wavefront, open Settings → Integrations and connect Google Drive under Document imports.
  2. Open the Documents page and choose Import.
  3. Pick files in Google's file picker.
  4. Check the preview of what will come in, then import.
  5. Optionally turn on daily resync.

What it covers

  • Google Docs as Markdown
  • PDFs with text, converted to text
  • Markdown and plain text files as they are
  • Each document starts with its source title, link and edit time
  • Imports go in as one version you can undo

Good to know

  • Wavefront only reads: nothing is written back to Drive.
  • Images inside Docs are dropped (alt text stays), and scanned PDFs with no text are refused.
  • Files over 10 MB aren't downloaded, and one import brings in at most 50 documents.
