IMPLEMENTATION

Deploy this event source

Connect the user's Google Docs account, configure the source, and choose the webhook where your backend receives events.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

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 deployed = await pd.triggers.deploy({
  id: "google_docs-new-or-updated-document",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_docs: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    timer: { "intervalSeconds": 900 },
    folders: ["Folder"],
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://example.com/webhooks/google-docs",
})

console.log(deployed.id)

MCP exposes on-demand actions. Event sources are deployed through the Connect SDK or API because they continue listening after the initial request.

SCHEMA

Configuration

These inputs define which events the source watches. Dynamic options are loaded from the connected account.

New or Updated Document (Instant) configuration
Property Type Description
timer Push notification renewal schedule $.interface.timer
The Google Drive API requires occasional renewal of push notification subscriptions. This runs in the background, so you should not need to modify this schedule.
Required
folders Folder string[]
(Optional) The folders you want to watch. Leave blank to watch for any new document.
Optional Dynamic

01

Connect

Your user authorizes Google Docs through Pipedream managed auth.

02

Deploy

Your backend deploys this source with that user's own configuration.

03

Webhook delivery

Every event is sent to the HTTP endpoint you choose when you deploy the source — after each poll.

OR

On-demand retrieval

No webhook required. Your app or agent can fetch recent events from the trigger events API.
