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.

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.
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.
Folders	`folders`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

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:

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

About Google Drive#

Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service which allows you to create and share your work online, and access your documents from anywhere.

PandaDoc Overview#

The PandaDoc API opens up a realm of possibilities for automating document workflows, creating a seamless bridge between document management and various business processes. With it, you can programmatically create, send, and track documents, streamline electronic signatures, and manage templates, among others. Integrations through Pipedream can harness these capabilities, enabling you to trigger actions in PandaDoc based on events from other apps, or vice versa.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
PandaDoc	`app`	`app`	This component uses the PandaDoc app.
Document Name	`name`	`string`	Specify the document's name.

Recipients	`recipients`	`string[]`	The list of recipients you're sending the document to. Every object must contain the email parameter. The role, first_name and last_name parameters are optional. If the role parameter passed, a person is assigned all fields matching their corresponding role. If not passed, a person will receive a read-only link to view the document. If the first_name and last_name not passed the system: 1. creates a new contact, if none exists with the given email; or 2. gets the existing contact with the given email that already exists. E.g. `{ "email": "john.doe@pipedream.com", "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe", "role": "user" }`
Tokens	`tokens`	`string[]`	You may pass a list of tokens/values to pre-fill tokens (variables) used in a template. Name is a token (variable) name in a template. Value is a real value you would like to replace a token (variable) with. E.g. `{ "name": "Favorite.Pet", "value": "Dog Doe" }`
