How this workflow works, step by step

  1. 1 Trigger File added

    The workflow starts when Google Drive signals "file added". Carly is listening continuously, so the run begins within seconds of the event.

  2. 2 LLM Transcribe

    An LLM step does the thinking: transcribe. Carly picks the right model for the job and you can swap models per step if you need to.

  3. 3 LLM Extract tasks

    An LLM step does the thinking: extract tasks. Carly picks the right model for the job and you can swap models per step if you need to.

  4. 4 Foreach Each task

    Carly loops over a list — each task — and runs the next steps once per item. Works for leads, attendees, rows, files, anything iterable.

  5. 5 Action Create ticket

    Finally Carly takes action in Linear: create ticket. This is the thing that actually moves the world.

When to use this template

  • You want this work to happen consistently without anyone remembering to do it.
  • You're already using Google Drive and Linear, and the manual version of this is eating real minutes a week.
  • You want a visible canvas you can audit and edit — not a black-box agent doing things you can't see.

When not to use it

  • This task only happens once or twice a month — the setup cost won't pay back.
  • The decision in the middle of the flow needs human judgment every single time, not just on edge cases.
  • Your stack doesn't include any of the apps above and you don't want to wire a generic HTTP step.
