Google Cloud Overview#

The Google Cloud API opens a world of possibilities for enhancing cloud operations and automating tasks. It empowers you to manage, scale, and fine-tune various services within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) programmatically. With Pipedream, you can harness this power to create intricate workflows, trigger cloud functions based on events from other apps, manage resources, and analyze data, all in a serverless environment. The ability to interconnect GCP services with numerous other apps enriches automation, making it easier to synchronize data, streamline development workflows, and deploy applications efficiently.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Cloud	`googleCloud`	`app`	This component uses the Google Cloud app.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Type	`topicType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`existingnew`

Trigger Authentication#

Google Cloud uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Google Cloud account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Google Cloud APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Microsoft Outlook Calendar Overview#

The Microsoft Outlook Calendar API provides programmatic access to a user's calendar events, allowing for the creation, retrieval, update, and deletion of events within Outlook calendars. With Pipedream, you can integrate these calendar operations into workflows that automate tasks involving scheduling, event management, and coordination with other services. Whether it's triggering actions when new events are created, syncing calendar events with other scheduling tools, or managing attendees, Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to build custom automations with minimal overhead.

Action Authentication#

Microsoft Outlook Calendar uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Microsoft Outlook Calendar account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Microsoft Outlook Calendar and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Microsoft Outlook Calendar API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
