Automate OneDrive with Pokee AI
Files accumulate in OneDrive without structure when organization depends on manual sorting. Pokee connects via Microsoft OAuth and automates your file workflows - categorizing uploads, enforcing naming rules, and routing documents based on content.
What Pokee Can Do with OneDrive
- Auto-organize uploaded files into folders based on content or naming
- Extract data from documents (PDFs, spreadsheets) into other tools
- Sync specific folders with Google Drive, Dropbox, or Slack
- Alert team members when files are added or modified
- Generate summaries of document contents and share via Slack or email
- Archive old files based on age or last-accessed rules
- Route signed documents to the next step in your workflow

FAQ
