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.
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.
Folders	`folders`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Include Link	`includeLink`	`boolean`	Upload file to your File Stash and emit temporary download link to the file. Google Workspace documents will be converted to PDF. See the docs to learn more about working with files in Pipedream.
	`dir`	`dir`

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.

Plain Overview#

The Plain API provides functionality for automating customer support tasks, such as managing conversations, customers, and team inboxes. Within Pipedream, you can leverage these features to create custom workflows that respond to events from your app or external services, triggering actions in Plain. By integrating the Plain API with Pipedream, you can enhance customer support efficiency, streamline communication, and keep customer data synchronized across platforms.

Action Code#

import plain from "../../plain.app.mjs"; import mutations from "../../common/mutations.mjs"; export default { key: "plain-create-thread", name: "Create Thread", description: "Creates a new thread with a given customer. [See the documentation](https://www.plain.com/docs/api-reference/graphql/threads/create)", version: "0.0.2", annotations: { destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, readOnlyHint: false, }, type: "action", props: { plain, customerId: { propDefinition: [ plain, "customerId", ], }, title: { type: "string", label: "Title", description: "Title of the thread", }, text: { type: "string", label: "Text", description: "Text message to start the thread", }, labelTypeIds: { propDefinition: [ plain, "labelTypeIds", ], }, assigneeId: { propDefinition: [ plain, "userId", ], label: "Assignee ID", }, }, async run({ $ }) { const variables = { input: { title: this.title, customerIdentifier: { customerId: this.customerId, }, components: [ { componentText: { text: this.text, }, }, ], labelTypeIds: this.labelTypeIds, assignedTo: this.assigneeId ? { userId: this.assigneeId, } : undefined, }, }; const { data } = await this.plain.post({ $, data: { query: mutations.createThread, variables, }, }); $.export("$summary", `Successfully created thread with ID ${data.createThread.thread.id}`); 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.
