Google Drive Overview#

The Google Drive API on Pipedream allows you to automate various file management tasks, such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting files within your Google Drive. You can also share files, manage permissions, and monitor changes to files and folders. This opens up possibilities for creating workflows that seamlessly integrate with other apps and services, streamlining document handling, backup processes, and collaborative workflows.

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.

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

Joomla! Overview#

The Joomla! API provides a powerful way to interact with the Joomla! content management system programmatically. With this API, you can automate content creation, user management, and site maintenance tasks. Pipedream’s serverless platform enhances these capabilities, allowing you to create workflows that trigger on specific events, process data, and integrate with countless other services to extend the functionality of your Joomla! site.
