What your agent can do with Google Drive
Triggers and actions 7 triggers · 42 actions
- TriggerComment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
- TriggerFile Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
- TriggerFile Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
- TriggerFile 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.
- TriggerFile Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
- TriggerGoogle Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
- TriggerNew File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query.
