Hi,

Is it possible to connect pipedream to Google Contacts and Google Groups ?
I need to do some actions starting from trello, and then add some ressources inside Google Contacts and Google Groups.
Is it possible?

Thanks
L.

Hello @toonetcreation, Pipedream supports Google People (Contact), but unfortunately we don’t have Google People (Contact) - Create Contact action. Also Pipedream doesn’t support Google Groups for now.

I’ve created 2 tickets here to match your need:

ok many thanks for the feedback.
So 2 questions :

  1. now what are the actions supported by your google contact connector?
  2. Is it possible to create a scenario to send http post request to google contact API with another connector ?
  3. is there any possibilty to run bash/shell script from your service ?

There’re four of these.

You can add your own code to call to Google Contact API to create contact, by choosing this option below

Sorry I forgot another point.

  1. if I create a Bash script, is it possible to write log files Somewhere for instance ?

  2. in order to parse Json files, I’m using JQ binary. Is it possible to host JQ Somewhere I Can call it to parse JSON files?

I think you can pipe the log to the tmp folder (example), then add an action to upload the log file in tmp folder to a file storage such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc…

I’m not sure if we can install library, maybe @pierce might be able to answer you

Ok understood thanks.
For info, about JQ, does not need an installation, juste copy/paste the binary file.
More info here : jq

Hi @toonetcreation

That’s correct, Pipedream Bash code steps have the jq binary pre-installed. You can see some examples of using jq to access data from other steps data in a workflow here:

Ok so that’s perfect thanks :wink:

Hi I’m not trying to highjack this post :smiling_face:, but I’m trying to do something similar with Google Contacts.

I need a middle man to sit between ERPNext and Google Contacts to do CRUD. I understand that the C part need to write code in node or python. I wonder if there’s any documentation for me to kickstart this?

Hi @charles

You can read this set of docs to learn how to use any 3rd party API with Pipedream using your connected account in a Node.js setup:

We do not have a tutorial specifically for this API, but our YouTube channel has many examples of connecting APIs in Node.js steps:

Hello toonetcreation

Just do advice that Create, and Add members to groups are available via the Google Directory API, which is available for integration> Google Directory API Integrations - Pipedream

Regarding the ticket that Leo created for you about the Add Member to group, this is the relevant documentation: Directory API: اعضای گروه  |  Admin console  |  Google for Developers

I-d advise you follow the ticket for component creation update

[APP] Google Groups · Issue #4968 · PipedreamHQ/pipedream (github.com)

Thanks,
