Hi @Dheemanth Uppalapati -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What problem are you trying to solve by doing that? Knowing that may help the community to offer you suggestions.

Without knowing that...I suspect there is a REST API to create such folders, and that could be called from an Automation for Jira rule using a web request. There may also be marketplace addons specifically for such connections to Google Drive.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks for the quick reply , Bill. Looks like I got by a solution from one of the addons you mentioned.

Hi Bill!

Would you help guide me in how to configure the Automation Web Request to create a gDrive folder named as the respective Jira Issue Number?

I've stumbled to the following references but am spinning wheels in configuring the Jira Web Request Automation component.

Thanks in advance for your guidance

Hello Everyone @Dheemanth Uppalapati @Bill Sheboy @Bill Sheboy @John Luu @Dennis Moses ,

Little late to join the conversation over here, In 2026 the issues are work items 🙂

if you are reading this and still looking for a way to automate folder creation and file management. Please have a look at my earlier article which leverages native jira automation with ikuTeam app to achieve this.
