Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox

Every document Hela issues is dropped into your storage, filed by company, year and month, like an archive cabinet nobody has to fill.

Connecting

Integrations → Google Drive / OneDrive / Dropbox → Continue with …. Hela asks for access to a single folder, which it creates (Hela/): it sees nothing else in your Drive. Whoever runs the server must have registered Hela with Google (GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID), Microsoft (MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID) or Dropbox (DROPBOX_CLIENT_ID).

        facture-ERNS-SALE-260928-0012.xml   ← the UBL, for invoices
        devis-ERNS-QUOT-260915-0003.pdf     ← a signed quote
        achat-ERNS-PURC-260902-0007.pdf     ← a supplier order

Event	File
invoice.issued	The invoice PDF and its UBL 2.1
sale.created (if set)	The receipt
quote.signed	The quote, when it comes back signed
purchase.created	The order

The till closing report and the monthly exports (cash_session.closed, export.ready) are the next files planned for the cabinet.

A changed document (an invoice completed by a payment) is not dropped again: the archive keeps the document as issued, which is what an archive is for.

Settings

Setting	Default	Meaning
Archive counter sales	no	Receipts are many files; the till closing summarises them.
Drop the UBL	yes	The XML next to the invoice PDF.

On a document

The Archive button of the Partners card drops on demand, for instance a document older than the connection. The archived state carries the path and a link to open the file in the storage.

Good to know

• Folder names are the company's in Hela; renaming them in the storage breaks nothing, Hela finds folders by id.
• Dropping is done by the server in the background, with retries; a storage outage does not delay the invoice.
• Quotas: Google and Microsoft cap calls per minute; a large back-fill spreads over a few hours.
