Excalidraw ACTION

Update Scene

Updates an existing Excalidraw scene's name or collection membership. Use List Scenes to find the scene ID, and List Collections to find a collection ID if moving the scene. Only the fields you provide are updated — omitted fields remain unchanged. Note: the Excalidraw API does not support a description field on scenes. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Connect a user's Excalidraw account once, then configure and run Update Scene from your backend or agent.

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "excalidraw-update-scene",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    excalidraw: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    sceneId: "Scene ID",
    sceneName: "Name",
  },
})
