Zoho WorkDrive Overview#

The Zoho WorkDrive API interacts with Zoho's cloud-based file management system, enabling automated file and folder operations, team management, and content collaboration. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to create workflows that trigger on specific events, manipulate files and folders, and integrate with other services for a seamless productivity boost.

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
Zoho WorkDrive	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Zoho WorkDrive app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Zoho WorkDrive on this schedule
Team Id	`teamId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Folder Type	`folderType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Folder Id	`folderId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

WorkDrive.files.CREATEWorkDrive.files.READWorkDrive.files.UPDATEWorkDrive.files.DELETEWorkDrive.team.READWorkDrive.teamfolders.READWorkDrive.workspace.CREATEWorkDrive.workspace.UPDATEWorkDrive.workspace.DELETEZohoSearch.securesearch.READZohoFiles.files.READ
