Google Cloud Storage component

Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Storage Component is designed to connect to Google Cloud Storage JSON API

Description

Google Cloud Storage Component is designed to connect to Google Cloud Storage JSON API The current release of component support JSON API v1.

Environment variables

Name Mandatory Description Values
MAX_FILE_SIZE false Maximum file size that can be downloaded from cloud storage to platform in megabytes (mb) (100MB by default) any integer above 0

Credentials

Before building any integration flow you must at first configure the app from inside the Google Developers Console.

  1. Go to the APIs & Services -> Enabled APIs & services page and enable the following:
    • Cloud Storage
    • Google Cloud Storage JSON API
  2. Go to the Credentials section and create a new credential of type OAuth client ID.
    • Set Application type to Web application
    • Add Authorized redirect URI as: https://{your-tenant-address}/callback/oauth2
  3. Create new or link existing Billing account to your project in Billing section - it must be valid (Status: active) to use this service

In case of new domain you may get message like This app isn't verified. Please refer to this doc to check how to proceed: https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/7454865?hl=en

Now you can create new credentials for component:

Credential

  • Type (dropdown, required) - OAuth2
  • Choose Auth Client (dropdown, required) - select one of created before or Add New Auth Client:
    • Name (string, required) - provide any name you want
    • Client ID (string, required) - put here Client ID from Web application in Google Developers Console
    • Client Secret (string, required) - put here Client Secret from Web application in Google Developers Console
    • Authorization Endpoint (string, required) - Google oauth2 authorization endpoint https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth
    • Token Endpoint (string, required) - Google refresh token endpoint https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
  • Name Your Credential (string, required) - provide any name you want
  • Scopes (Comma-separated list) (string, required) - Put here scopes to get access to your Storage - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_write, more info
  • Additional parameters (Comma-separated list) (string, required) - set it as access_type:offline,prompt:consent to make component works properly
  • Project ID (string, required) - Get project ID from Google Developers Console
  • Number of retries (number, optional, 5 by default) - How many times component should retry to make request
  • Delay between retries (number ms, optional, 10000 by default) - How much time wait until new try

Triggers

Get New and Updated Objects Polling

Retrieve all the updated or created objects within a given time range.

Configuration Fields

  • Bucket - (dropdown, required): select one of the available buckets
  • Enable File Attachments - (checkbox, optional): If checked, the file will be uploaded to local storage and the link provided in response
  • Timestamp field to poll on - (dropdown, optional, default Last Modified): Select which date will be used to track files - Last Modified or Created
  • Emit Behavior - (dropdown, optional, default Emit individually): Defines the way result objects will be emitted, one of Emit page or Emit individually.
  • Page Size - (number, optional, defaults to 999, max 999): Indicates the size of pages to be fetched per request
  • Start Time - (string, optional): The timestamp to start polling from (inclusive) - using ISO 8601 Date time utc format - YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm: ssZ. The default value is the beginning of time (January 1, 1970, at 00:00).
  • End Time - (string, optional): The timestamp to stop polling (exclusive) - using ISO 8601 Date time utc format - YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ. Default value is flow execution time.

Input Metadata

There is no input metadata in this trigger.

Output Metadata

Depends on Enable File Attachments and Emit behavior fields.

  • If Emit behavior field is equal to Emit page - object with the property results that contains array of files
  • If Emit behavior field is equal to Emit individually, file information will fulfill the whole message
  • If Enable File Attachments is checked, for each file there will be an additional field - attachmentUrl

Limitations

  • Google Cloud Storage API doesn’t support filtering by dates - as result we collect information about all files from selected Bucket and filter them locally (inside component) for each trigger execution
  • From the point above, option Emit page does not always emit records according to Page Size

Webhook

This trigger allows tracking changes in the bucket

Configuration Fields

  • Bucket - (dropdown, required): select one of the available buckets
  • Enable File Attachments - (checkbox, optional, false by default): If selected, the contents of the file will be exported in addition to the attachment

Input Metadata

There is no Input metadata in this trigger.

Output Metadata

  • operation - (object, required): One of Create’, Update or Delete
  • fileMetadata - (object, required): File metadata from Google Cloud storage

If selected Enable File Attachments there will be additional field:

  • attachmentUrl - (string, required): Url to file in internal storage

Limitations

  1. attachmentUrl not available for Deleted objects
  2. In an ordinary flow you need to follow the webhook URL after a flow started in order to correctly initialize it (no extra actions needed if a flow is real-time)
