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
pCloud	`pcloud`	`app`	This component uses the pCloud app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream polls pCloud for events on this schedule.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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