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

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:0.1.0
Key:google_drive-changes-to-specific-files-shared-drive

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 {
  GOOGLE_DRIVE_NOTIFICATION_CHANGE,
  GOOGLE_DRIVE_NOTIFICATION_ADD,
  GOOGLE_DRIVE_NOTIFICATION_UPDATE,
} from "../../constants.mjs";

/**
 * 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.

Watch for changes to file propertieswatchForPropertiesChangesboolean

Watch for changes to file properties
in addition to changes to content. Defaults to false, watching for only changes to content.

Push notification renewal scheduletimer$.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.

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:

IFTTT Overview

With the IFTTT API, you can build a wide variety of applications and
integrations. Here are just a few examples:

  • A to-do list app that adds new items to a spreadsheet
  • A weather app that sends you a notification when it's going to rain
  • A social media app that posts updates to a blog
  • An e-commerce app that track your order status and sends you shipping updates
  • A fitness app that logs your workout data and shares your progress with
    friends

Action Authentication

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

A request that includes an IFTTT-Service-Key header containing your service key, found in the API tab of the IFTTT Platform under the Service Key heading.
