Google Cloud Overview#

The Google Cloud API opens a world of possibilities for enhancing cloud operations and automating tasks. It empowers you to manage, scale, and fine-tune various services within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) programmatically. With Pipedream, you can harness this power to create intricate workflows, trigger cloud functions based on events from other apps, manage resources, and analyze data, all in a serverless environment. The ability to interconnect GCP services with numerous other apps enriches automation, making it easier to synchronize data, streamline development workflows, and deploy applications efficiently.

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 Cloud	`googleCloud`	`app`	This component uses the Google Cloud app.
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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Type	`topicType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`existingnew`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Plaid Overview#

The Plaid API offers a multitude of financial data operations, enabling developers to manage and interact with user bank accounts, transactions, identity info, and more, all within a secure and compliant ecosystem. Integrating Plaid with Pipedream can unlock powerful automations, like syncing transaction data to accounting software, verifying user identities for KYC compliance, and automating financial alerts or reporting.
