Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Changes to Specific Files (Shared Drive) on Google Drive

Description:Watches for changes to specific files in a shared drive, emitting an event any time a change is made to one of those files

Version:0.1.2

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 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

import common from "../common-webhook.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

import {
  GOOGLE_DRIVE_NOTIFICATION_CHANGE,
  GOOGLE_DRIVE_NOTIFICATION_ADD,
  GOOGLE_DRIVE_NOTIFICATION_UPDATE,

/**
 * This source uses the Google Drive API's
 * {@link https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/changes/watch changes: watch}
 * endpoint to subscribe to changes to the user's drive or a shard drive.

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.
Files	`files`	`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:

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
Baserow	`baserow`	`app`	This component uses the Baserow app.
Table ID	`tableId`	`integer`	The ID of the table to use. You can find your tables and their IDs on the Baserow API Docs.
