[PRC] LREC-002 | Upload plan in GDrive => Update PlanRadar Layer

1 Overview

This PlanRadar Connect recipe automates the process of uploading files from a specific Google Drive folder into a specific plan in PlanRadar. When a new file is added in Google Drive, the recipe searches for the file, downloads its contents, and uploads it as a new version of the plan — the connector step is called Upload a plan to a Layer/Component.

If anything goes wrong, a custom error email is sent, and the recipe stops automatically.
