New or Modified Folders on Google Drive

Description:Emit new event any time any folder in your linked Google Drive is added, modified, or deleted

Version:0.1.1

Google Drive Overview#

Using the Google Drive API, you can build applications that:

Create and manage files and folders
Download and upload files
Share and organize files
Search for files
Track changes to files
And much more!

Trigger Code#

// This source processes changes to any files in a user's Google Drive,
// implementing strategy enumerated in the Push Notifications API docs:
// https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/push and here:
// https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/manage-changes
//
// This source has two interfaces:
//
// 1) The HTTP requests tied to changes in the user's Google Drive
// 2) A timer that runs on regular intervals, renewing the notification channel as needed

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
Google Drive	`googleDrive`	`app`	This component uses the Google Drive app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Watch for changes to file properties	`watchForPropertiesChanges`	`boolean`	Watch for changes to file properties in addition to changes to content. Defaults to `false`, watching for only changes to content.
Push notification renewal schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The Google Drive API requires occasional renewal of push notification subscriptions. This runs in the background, so you should not need to modify this schedule.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/drivehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
nocodb	`nocodb`	`app`	This component uses the nocodb app.
Project Id	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

nocodb uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your nocodb account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to nocodb APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Your API key can be found in API Tokens Management within your database.
Your domain is where you app is hosted, so for https://mytable.com use mytable.com for the domain.
