Blogger - Drive Automation

Drive Automation watches a Google Drive folder and publishes new or updated Google Docs to your Blogger blog automatically — no exports, no forms, no manual triggers. Drop a doc in the folder and it goes live. Edit the doc and the post updates.

Use Frontmatter in your Google Docs to set the title, labels, publish status, and more on a per-document basis.

Tenwrite checks your Drive folder once every hour. New Google Docs become new Blogger posts. Docs that have changed since the last run sync back to the existing post.

Only Google Docs in the folder root are picked up — files inside subfolders are ignored. By default, posts are created as Drafts. Add a Frontmatter table to your doc to set a different status.

Open the Tenwrite add-on or Web Dashboard, go to Blogger > Automations, and make sure you’re on the Drive tab.

Click New Automation (or Create Drive Automation if no automations exist yet).

You need a folder in Google Drive that Tenwrite can read. Create a new one or use an existing folder.

Create the folder:

In Google Drive, click + New and select New folder.

Share it with Tenwrite:

Click the three-dot menu on the folder, choose Share > Share, and enter automation@tenwrite-gcp.iam.gserviceaccount.com. Set the role to Viewer and click Share. Click Share anyway if prompted.

Copy the folder link:

Open the three-dot menu again and choose Share > Copy link. You’ll paste this into Tenwrite.

Back in Tenwrite, fill in the form: choose the Blogger Blog, paste the Folder URL, and check Enable Automation to activate it right away. Then click Create Automation.

The Drive tab lists all your automations with run stats — total runs, posts created, failures — and when the automation last ran. Use the action button in each row to pause or resume.

• Confirm the folder is shared with automation@tenwrite-gcp.iam.gserviceaccount.com.
• Check that the automation is enabled in the list.
• Make sure the folder URL you entered is correct.

• Only Google Docs are supported — Word files, PDFs, and other types are skipped.
• Files must be in the folder root, not inside subfolders.
• Confirm your Blogger blog is still connected in Tenwrite.

• Edit the original Google Doc inside the shared folder — Tenwrite tracks docs by their file ID, so edits to copies elsewhere won’t be detected.
• Changes are picked up on the next hourly run.

• Document Frontmatter
• Sheet Automation
• Export Google Docs to Blogger
