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 Code#

// This source processes changes to specific files in a user's Google Drive,
// implementing strategy enumerated in the Push Notifications API docs:
// https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/push .
//
// This source has two interfaces:
//
// 1) The HTTP requests tied to changes in files 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.
Files	`files`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Minimum Interval Per File	`perFileInterval`	`integer`	How many minutes to wait until the same file can emit another event. If set to `0`, this interval is disabled and all events will be emitted.

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.

Amazon SES Overview#

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful cloud-based email sending service designed to help digital marketers and application developers send marketing, notification, and transactional emails. With the SES API, you can reliably send emails at scale, manage sender reputations, view email sending statistics, and maintain a high deliverability rate. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate SES seamlessly into serverless workflows, automate email responses based on triggers from other apps, and analyze the effectiveness of your email campaigns by connecting to data analytics platforms.

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
Amazon SES	`amazonSes`	`app`	This component uses the Amazon SES app.
AWS Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Template Name	`TemplateName`	`string`	The email template name
Subject	`Subject`	`string`	The email subject line. Use `\{\{` and `\}\}` to insert tags. Example: `This is a \{\{tagname\}\}`.
HTML	`Html`	`string`	The HTML email body. Use `\{\{` and `\}\}` to insert tags. Example: `This is a \{\{tagname\}\}`.
Text	`Text`	`string`	The email body that will be visible to recipients whose email clients do not display HTML. Use `\{\{` and `\}\}` to insert tags. Example: `This is a \{\{tagname\}\}`.

Action Authentication#

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

Follow the AWS Instructions for creating an IAM user with an associated access and secret key, with the minimum IAM permissions necessary to send email or hit the desired SES APIs from Pipedream.

Enter the access and secret key below.
