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.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Interval to poll the Google Drive API for new shared drives

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

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.

Postmark Overview#

The Postmark API enables developers to easily integrate programmatic emailing into their applications. With the API, developers can create, send, and track transactional emails that are designed to enhance user experience and user engagement. The API also provides developers with access to powerful analytics and insights, such as open/click rates, spam complaints, bounces, and unsubscribes.
