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.

Raindrop Overview#

Raindrop.io is a versatile bookmarking service that lets users save, organize, and share web content. With its API, you can automate the management of bookmarks, collections, and tags, thus streamlining the way you handle internet resources. Automating these tasks with the Raindrop API on Pipedream opens the door to personalized content curation, enhanced collaboration, and efficient information retrieval workflows. Think syncing saved articles across platforms, generating reports on saved links, or even triggering actions based on new content.

Action Authentication#

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

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