Remove a Google Sheets Trigger?

Help
1

We created a trigger to a Google Sheet (we have an account connection set up with Google sheet in Pipedream) as a first step in a workflow. It triggers on a change to a google sheet. I assume this trigger, adds some code on the Google end of things to tell Google to send a request or whatever to a pipedream endpoint when there is a change in the spreadsheet. The problem is that we now want to remove this trigger. I know we can delete the trigger in Pipedream, but what about the code that was added by Pipedream on the google side of things? Where is it? how do we delete it?
Thanks.

Hi @osseonews,

To address your concern about removing the trigger from both Pipedream and Google Sheets, follow these steps:

  1. Delete the Trigger in Pipedream:

    • Navigate to your Pipedream workflow.
    • Locate the trigger step that is set to monitor changes in your Google Sheet.
    • Delete this trigger step from your workflow.

  2. Remove the Google Sheets Webhook:

    • Pipedream uses the Google Sheets API to set up a webhook that listens for changes in your spreadsheet. When you delete the trigger in Pipedream, it should also remove the webhook from Google Sheets. However, if you want to ensure that the webhook is removed, you can manually delete it using the Google Sheets API.

Here is a step-by-step guide to manually remove the webhook:

Step 1: List Webhooks

You can list all the webhooks set up on your Google Sheets to identify the one created by Pipedream.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    google: {
      type: "app",
      app: "google",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const response = await axios($, {
      url: `https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/${YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID}/permissions`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    });
    
    return response;
  },
});

Replace YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID with the ID of your Google Sheet.

Step 2: Delete the Webhook

Once you have identified the webhook, you can delete it using the following code:

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    google: {
      type: "app",
      app: "google",
    },
    webhookId: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Webhook ID",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const response = await axios($, {
      method: "DELETE",
      url: `https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/${YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID}/permissions/${this.webhookId}`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    });
    
    return response;
  },
});
