Integration
Connect Algolia and Google Drive
When Browse Records fires in Algolia, your agent runs Add File Sharing Preference in Google Drive, or Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides) in Google Drive to Add or Replace Record in Algolia. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

Action
Partial Update RecordAdds new attributes to an Algolia record or updates existing ones, leaving the other attributes unchanged.

Trigger
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Trigger
File CreatedTriggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Trigger
File Deleted or TrashedTriggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
Trigger
File Shared (Permissions Added)Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Trigger
File UpdatedTriggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Trigger
Google Drive ChangesTriggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Trigger
New File Matching QueryTriggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Action
Add File Sharing PreferenceModifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'.
