# Create an Action

> In this step you can add any of your prefered platform. As an example we are integrating with **Google Drive**.

Search and select Google Drive action.

From the Events for Google Drive, scroll down, select Upload File, and click on Continue.

![Select Action - Upload File](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/CtvqhNe09KjkmEpr9C0WnCGao13BViW9LCVeDDcS.png)

Log in to your Google Drive account.
> Since I’ve been testing the setup, my account is already logged in. You will see the + Connect a new account button to log in.

![Connect Google Drive Account](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/ZQGSK9heaBbFlxHwzZM3S2xMds86cNfXLHmjGWOR.png)

Now, let’s set up the Actions.

![Setup Action](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/sCyEIP2fqwcLVdYrdhnBcz3mgu3YbWoCK0v9rUAS.png)

Click on the Drive drop-down and select My Google Drive or any other drive that you have connected on Google Drive.

![Select Drive](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/fDBf1GHpm2EpzliFovkr3lKjRiJersNz9ihVmM5w.png)

Click on the Folder drop-down and select your desired destination for the Carousel.
> I created the folder on my drive with the title Posts From PostNitro.

![Select Folder](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/b40ARQf0KpbXwCBOfinABN3mxgIZCIaYUQ5be4ZW.png)

Click on the File drop-down and select Carousel Url.
> Since we pass three parameters to Zapier, the Carousel Url parameter contains the carousel post in PDF format. The URL sent here is a public link to the PDF document.

![Select File](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/o0sQPxoEvYyHSrAaD6dfzUN5Ro9XHtrzMamiVzr2.png)

Click on the Convert to Document drop-down and select False. Since we are already passing the data in PDF format, conversion here is not required.

![Convert to Document](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/u3E1Ue4pM3OX1NxxE0BTE3hU1DlvhYCeK1xq6zV6.png)

Click on the File Name drop-down and select the Carousel Name parameter. This is the same name users set for their carousel posts.

![Set File Name](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/DOcP8Szhi9Tbpioa8i0XISumjR3DNM5Mf1sdBebI.png)

Click on the File Extension and enter “pdf”.

![Set File Extension](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/UekTWFOmMzN51kKrZ3ctMk5JTZGJpZemTBbKwfJ2.png)

Now everything is set. Click on Continue.

Finally, click on the Test step button to test the Zap.

![Test Zap](https://storage.googleapis.com/contentstudio-media-library-nearline/media_library/65364679ea7f87354e00ef92/65c887b4f6a6f51bf30cf7e2/65c887bef6a6f51bf30cf7e3/original/s991uJCo3yfQf56mC2gMBY5CWfN1lSlhqE59Wqm6.png)
