Google Docs Overview#

The Google Docs API allows you to create, read, and update Google Docs programmatically, enabling a wide range of automations and integrations with other apps and services. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to craft custom serverless workflows that trigger on various events, like form submissions, emails, or scheduled times, and perform actions like updating a document, extracting content, or even generating templated reports.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "google_docs-new-document-created",
  name: "New Document Created (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a new document is created in Google Docs. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/changes/watch)",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    generateMeta(doc) {
      return {
        id: doc.documentId,
        summary: `New Document: ${doc.documentId}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
    async processChanges() {
      const lastFileCreatedTime = this._getLastFileCreatedTime();
      const timeString = new Date(lastFileCreatedTime).toISOString();

      const args = this.getListFilesOpts({
        q: `mimeType != "application/vnd.google-apps.folder" and createdTime > "${timeString}" and trashed = false`,
        orderBy: "createdTime desc",
        fields: "*",
      });

      const { files } = await this.googleDrive.listFilesInPage(null, args);
      if (!files?.length) {
        return;
      }
      await this.emitFiles(files);
      this._setLastFileCreatedTime(Date.parse(files[0].createdTime));
    },
  },
};

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 Docs	`googleDrive`	`app`	This component uses the Google Docs app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
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.
Folder	`folders`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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