Google Drive ACTION

Trash File

Move a file or folder to the trash in Google Drive. This is a reversible operation — the file can be restored from trash within 30 days. Use Search Files first to find the file ID by name. Use this instead of permanent deletion as the safer default. To find trashed files, use Search Files with trashed = true. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Google Drive account once, then configure and run Trash File from your backend or agent.

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 result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "google_drive-trash-file",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_drive: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    fileId: "File ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
