Do it yourself
Set up Drive Workflows, step by step
Each step has a tutorial with screenshots in Help.
-
Step 1: Install the plugin
Install the free version from WordPress.org, in Plugins → Add New. With a paid plan, add the Pro add-on from your account.
Screenshot: the plugin in Plugins → Add New -
Step 2: Create your Google Cloud project
In the Google Cloud console, create a free project, turn on the Google Drive API and create an OAuth client of type "Web application", with the redirect address shown in DriveWorkflows → Settings. Then publish the project: a project left in "Testing" disconnects after 7 days.

Step 3: Connect your Drive
Paste the client ID and secret in DriveWorkflows → Settings, click "Connect company Google Drive" and sign in with the company account. Once, for the whole site.
Screenshot: the "Connect company Google Drive" button -
Step 4: Set the folder rule
In "Default folder template", choose how client folders are named, for example Clients/%user_email%. Each folder is created the first time its client logs in.

Step 5: Add the client space to a page
Put the [driveworkflows] shortcode on a page for the client space, and [driveworkflows_requests] where clients follow their requests.

Step 6: Create your workflows (Pro)
In DriveWorkflows → Workflows, name each workflow, pick its form and switch on the steps you need: approval, team steps, filing, closing e-mail.

Step 7: Turn on the app (Pro)
In DriveWorkflows → Settings → Mobile app, add your name, logo and colour.

Questions
Can you install Drive Workflows on my existing website?
Yes, if your site runs WordPress 6.4 or later, PHP 8.1 or later and HTTPS. We install the plugin, connect your company Google Drive, set your clients' folders and test it all with a demo client. If something on your site needs to change first, the estimate says so.
How much does a setup cost?
It depends on your site and on the requests you need, so we send a free estimate first, with the price VAT included. Write to us with your site address, the tools you use and what your clients send you. Nothing starts until you accept the estimate.
Can I set it up myself?
Yes. The steps on this page and the Help tutorials cover everything, from the Google Cloud project to your first workflow. The free version and the setup tutorials cost nothing; write to us if you get stuck.
Can you build a step the plugin doesn't have?
Yes, it's WordPress plugin development we do every day. Drive Workflows is built so new steps can be added, for example a check in your own software. The estimate describes the step and its price before any work starts.
My website is old: should I redesign it first?
Not always. On a recent WordPress, we add Drive Workflows as it is. If your site runs on another platform, is very old or no longer matches your business, a new Personalised Website may cost less than fixing it. Send us your site address and we'll tell you which makes more sense.
Is the Personalised Website available outside France?
Yes, for businesses in any country, in English, from €1,500 incl. VAT. The full offer and payment steps are on eSociete.fr, or write to us.
