Setting Up a Site for User Authentication with Google Drive and Integrating Workflow in Pipedream?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

Hey guys is it possible to set up a site so the user signs in, and they authenticate to their own account (Google Drive for instance) so then I can plug in the rest of my workflow and other people can use it or is that not possible? I imagine maybe using the API for that part but not sure…sorry if this isn’t the place or if it’s a dumb question. I’m new to Pipedream

So to confirm, you’d have your own front-end site where your users would sign in to Google Drive and they’d authenticate your app to connect to their account? And you’d then basically run a Pipedream workflow that talks to Google Drive using that customer’s access token / credentials?

correct.

I don’t really want to do anything with their data except use whatever they choose (a file) to run it through my pipedream workflow and then output a new file to them.

You can’t do this today with pre-built actions, but you could do this in code for sure. We’re tracking the feature ability to do this with pre-built actions here.

Ah so currently I would have to build it on my own right?

You’d have to accomplish this with code steps in Pipedream instead of using pre-built actions
