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.

Trigger#

New or Modified Files (Instant) on Google Drive

Description:Emit new event when a file in the selected Drive is created, modified or trashed.

Version:0.3.5

Key:google_drive-new-or-modified-files

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 any files in a user's Google Drive,
// implementing strategy enumerated in the Push Notifications API docs:
// https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/push and here:
// https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/manage-changes
//
// This source has two interfaces:
//
// 1) The HTTP requests tied to changes 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.
Folder(s)	`folders`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Watch for changes to file properties	`watchForPropertiesChanges`	`boolean`	Watch for changes to custom file properties in addition to changes to content. Defaults to `false`, watching only for changes to content.
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.

Confection Overview#

Confection API provides a robust solution for collecting, managing, and utilizing user data in compliance with privacy regulations. It helps businesses capture data lost due to ad blockers and privacy tech, ensuring you don't miss out on valuable insights. With Pipedream, you can harness this data in real-time, triggering actions, analyzing trends, or integrating with other services for a comprehensive data strategy.

    }
    return data;
  },
};

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
Confection	`confection`	`app`	This component uses the Confection app.
UUID	`uuid`	`string`	Provide the UUID to retrieve related UUIDs of.
Likeness Score	`likeness`	`integer`	Accepts values 50 to 100. 100 meaning only pull back records where we are certain the UUIDs are the same record
Should the execution of this step be stopped if no results are found?	`stopOnNoResults`	`boolean`	If set to true, action execution will be halted when no related UUIDs are found and any subsequent steps that rely on data from this step will not be run.

Action Authentication#

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