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#

import newFilesInstant from "../../../google_drive/sources/new-files-instant/new-files-instant.mjs"; export default { ...newFilesInstant, key: "google_slides-new-presentation", type: "source", name: "New Presentation (Instant)", description: "Emit new event each time a new presentation is created in a drive.", version: "0.0.4", hooks: { ...newFilesInstant.hooks, async deploy() { // Emit sample records on the first run const slides = await this.getPresentations(5); for (const fileInfo of slides) { const createdTime = Date.parse(fileInfo.createdTime); this.$emit(fileInfo, { summary: `New File: ${fileInfo.name}`, id: fileInfo.id, ts: createdTime, }); } }, }, props: { ...newFilesInstant.props, folders: { ...newFilesInstant.props.folders, description: "(Optional) The folders you want to watch. Leave blank to watch for any new presentation in the Drive.", }, }, methods: { ...newFilesInstant.methods, shouldProcess(file) { return ( file.mimeType.includes("presentation") && newFilesInstant.methods.shouldProcess.bind(this)(file) ); }, getPresentationsFromFolderOpts(folderId) { const mimeQuery = "mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.presentation'"; let opts = { q: `${mimeQuery} and parents in '${folderId}' and trashed = false`, }; if (!this.isMyDrive()) { opts = { corpora: "drive", driveId: this.getDriveId(), includeItemsFromAllDrives: true, supportsAllDrives: true, ...opts, }; } return opts; }, async getPresentations(limit) { const slides = []; const foldersIds = this.folders; for (const folderId of foldersIds) { const opts = this.getPresentationsFromFolderOpts(folderId); const filesWrapper = await this.googleDrive.listFilesInPage(null, opts); for (const file of filesWrapper.files) { const fileInfo = await this.googleDrive.getFile(file.id); slides.push(fileInfo); if (slides.length >= limit) { return slides; } } } return slides; }, }, };

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.

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.

Slack Overview#

The Pipedream app for Slack enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.

The Pipedream app for Slack is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

Automate posting updates to your team channels
Create a bot to answer common questions
Integrate with your existing tools and services
And much more!

Action Code#

import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs"; import slack from "../../slack_v2.app.mjs"; export default { key: "slack_v2-get-file", name: "Get File", description: "Return information about a file.
