Source folder, file owner, and upload timestamp are preserved as metadata. [Start 7-day free trial](https://app.contracko.com/register) Book demo Setup in 5 minutes. No code necessary. > Drive handles the storage. Contracko handles everything after. Google Drive is where contracts actually land. Legal emails the PDF to a shared folder. Finance drops the vendor agreement into the team drive. But Drive was never built as a CLM. No renewal calendar, no AI extraction, no clause search, no audit trail that holds up for compliance. Contracko picks up where Drive stops. We watch the folders your team already uses, ingest each contract, and use AI to extract dates, parties, values, and obligations into a structured record. Ops, legal, and finance get the visibility Drive alone cannot provide. ## How Google Drive + Contracko works ### Trigger: folder watch Point Zapier at any Google Drive folder, whether My Drive or a Shared Drive. When a new file appears (or an existing file is updated), Zapier fires the trigger within seconds. ### Ingest into Contracko The file (PDF or DOCX) is sent to Contracko and lands in your repository. Drive context travels with it as metadata: folder path, file owner, and upload timestamp. ### AI reads the contract and indexes it Contracko's AI extracts renewal date, term, parties, value, and key clauses. The structured record sits in Contracko, ready for renewal alerts, portfolio search, and audit reporting. The originating Drive path stays linked so you can jump back to the source file from any contract record. ## Why teams using Google Drive choose Contracko ### [Catch the auto-renewal before it costs you](https://contracko.com/features/expiration-reminder) Drive stores the contract. Contracko reads it. Our AI pulls the renewal date and notice period from the PDF and pings the right people (sales, legal, finance, ops) weeks before auto-renewal hits. The first save typically pays for the year. ### [Stay on top of every contract with Clara, your AI assistant](https://contracko.com/features/clara-legal-ai-assistant) Clara is Contracko's AI contract assistant. She's read every contract you've signed. Ask her "which contracts auto-renew next quarter?" and she answers in seconds, with the exact clause she pulled from. ### [No more manual data entry — AI extracts every term](https://contracko.com/features/contract-data-extraction) Every PDF that lands in Drive gets read automatically. Contracko's AI extracts parties, value, term, renewal date, liability cap, and governing law into structured fields. The spreadsheet your team maintains by hand becomes redundant from day one. ### [Find any contract in seconds with smart search](https://contracko.com/features/contract-repository) Drive search finds file names. Contracko searches inside contracts. Search by counterparty, clause language, value, jurisdiction, or date. "Find all NDAs with mutual confidentiality" returns real answers, not file names. ## Set up in under five minutes No engineering required.

You point a Zap at any Google Drive folder, and every new or updated file in that folder is automatically ingested into Contracko for AI extraction and lifecycle tracking. The integration is one-way today: Drive to Contracko. Writing structured data back into Drive after extraction is on the roadmap, not yet shipped. - **Q:** Can Contracko monitor a Shared Drive as well as My Drive? **A:** Yes. Zapier's Google Drive trigger works with both My Drive folders and Shared Drive (formerly Team Drive) folders. You select the folder in the Zap setup, and the integration behaves identically for both. For department-based routing, set up one Zap per Shared Drive pointing to the corresponding Contracko workspace. - **Q:** Where does extracted data end up: back in Drive, or only in Contracko? **A:** Today, the structured record lives in Contracko: searchable, auditable, and linked to renewal reminders. The originating Drive file path is preserved as metadata so you can jump from any contract record back to the source file. Writing a structured summary back into Drive after extraction is on the roadmap (it needs a Contracko Zapier trigger that fires when extraction completes). - **Q:** What OAuth scopes does the Zapier integration request for Google Drive? **A:** Zapier requests read-level access to the Drive files and folders you specify. It uses Google's standard OAuth 2.0 flow. No passwords are stored, and you can revoke access at any time from your Google Account security settings. - **Q:** Can Contracko backfill and process contracts already in a Drive folder? **A:** Zapier triggers only fire on new events. Files already in a folder at the time of setup are not processed automatically. For a one-time backfill you can use Contracko's batch upload to drag and drop historical contracts in bulk, or use the Contract Management API to import exported Drive folder contents. Renewal dates and key terms are extracted retroactively just like any new ingestion. - **Q:** Does Contracko set reminders for contracts synced from Drive? **A:** Yes. Once a contract lands in Contracko from Drive, its renewal and notice dates are extracted and reminders are scheduled automatically, so a file sitting in a Drive folder never quietly auto-renews.
