How I Use Dubsado Custom Fields to Link Google Docs & Forms

If you’re still manually organising client files and chasing down missing assets, let me introduce you to a game-changer: Dubsado Custom Fields + Google Drive + Zapier.

With this setup, every client gets an automatically created Google Drive folder linked directly in their Dubsado forms. So they know exactly where to upload assets, and I never have to hunt for missing files again.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Automating Google Drive Setup ⚡

The moment a client books a service, Zapier steps in to handle the file organisation for me. It automatically creates:

✅ A Google Drive folder just for that client

✅ Subfolders for assets, forms, and important docs

✅ A structured, easy-to-access file system, without me lifting a finger

No more manually setting up folders. No more losing files in email threads.

Step 2: Linking Google Drive to Dubsado

Next, I use Dubsado’s custom fields to store each client’s unique Google Drive folder link. This means:

  • Clients always have access to the correct folder directly inside their onboarding form

  • I never have to email “Hey, here’s where to upload your assets” again

  • Everything stays organised and easy to findThe Three Key Phases Of A Great Client Experience

To create a standout client experience, focus on three main areas which are enquiry/onboarding, project delivery, and offboarding. Each phase contributes to a seamless journey that leaves clients delighted and willing to advocate for your business.

Step 3: The Only Manual Step (And It’s Easy!) ✂️

The only thing I need to do? Copy + paste the Google Drive folder link into the client’s project inside Dubsado. That’s it.

Once it’s in their form, clients can click and upload their files with zero confusion.

Make it stand out

Make sure the Google Folders are set to share with anyone with the link to make things even quicker

Step 4: Client Experience = Smooth AF

Clients receive a clear, well-structured onboarding form with smart buttons that link them directly to their Google folder.

  • Need to upload a logo? Click → Upload → Done.

  • Need to add brand assets? Click → Drag + Drop → Done.

Instead of endless back-and-forth emails, they can simply log in, click, and go.
