Snapizzi → Picflow Step 1 (Gallery + Queue Builder)

Automatically Create Picflow Galleries from Your Snapizzi Project Data Using Zapier

This automation connects Snapizzi with Picflow to automatically create galleries for each subject in your project.

Zapier connects your apps and automates tasks between them—no coding required. In this setup, it acts as the bridge between Snapizzi, Google Drive, and Picflow.


When a Snapizzi Subject List and Bundle images are added to Google Drive, this Zap will:

  • Create a Picflow gallery for every subject

  • Log all gallery details to a tracking sheet

  • Build an upload queue for the next step (image uploads)

This is Step 1 of a two-step workflow:

  1. Create galleries + build queue (this Zap)

  2. Upload images into those galleries (Zap 2)

What This Zap Does

Trigger

  • Watches a Google Drive folder for new CSV file

  • Only continues if the file name contains: subject_list

Processing

  • Imports the CSV file

  • Loops through each subject row

  • Filters to valid subject rows

Actions

For each subject:

  1. Create Picflow Gallery

    • Gallery name = subject/gallery field from CSV

  2. Log Gallery Data (Tracking Sheet)

    • Gallery ID

    • Gallery Name

    • Subject Code

    • Group (if present)

  3. Add to Upload Queue

    • Gallery ID

    • File names for that subject


1. Google Drive Folder

  • This is your watch folder

  • Upload your subject_list.csv and folder of images here

2. CSV Format

Your Snapizzi Subject List CSV file will include:

  • Gallery (subject name)

  • Subject Code

  • File Names

  • Group (optional)


3. Google Sheets (2 Worksheets Required)

Sheet 1: Picflow Gallery IDs

Used by Zap 1 to store created galleries

Columns:

  • A: Gallery ID

  • B: Gallery Name

  • C: Subject Code

  • D: Group


Sheet 2: Picflow Subject Upload Queue

Used by Zap 2 for uploading to Picflow

Columns:

  • A: Gallery ID

  • B: File Name


4. Picflow Account

  • Connected in Zapier

  • Used for gallery creation


Next Step

This next Zap will:

  • Read the upload queue

  • Match images to galleries

  • Upload everything automatically


Future Improvements

This workflow currently relies on Zapier because Picflow does not yet offer a public API.

We’re hopeful that Picflow will provide API access in the future, which would allow for a more direct, efficient, and scalable integration with Snapizzi.
