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	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to run your query
Event Size	`eventSize`	`integer`	The number of rows to include in a single event (by default, emits 1 event per row)
Dataset ID	`datasetId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table Name	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Unique Key	`uniqueKey`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

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.

Create a service account in GCP and set the permissions you need for Pipedream workflows.
