Google Drive

Pull user, shared drive info and more to connect across tools.

Overview

Use the Google Drive integration to identify problems with your users, groups and devices before they occur. Integrating with Google Drive enables you to build boards that correlate fields within Google Drive and with other connected tools. You can also run actions on fetched data without ever leaving Stitchflow.

Configure

Enable the Google Drive integration from Connections in the left sidenav. Click Connect and authenticate using your Google Drive credentials. Before connecting, Google Drive will sync for a few minutes while fetching data. Once connected, you can click the ... menu on the Google Drive integration tile to manage permissions or disconnect the integration.

Please note that disconnecting Google Drive will also permanently delete any boards in which it is used.

Manage permissions

Google Drive actions allow you to run operations on fetched data without ever leaving Stitchflow. All actions are enabled by default and will be accessible on every board, but can be disabled by clicking the ... menu and selecting Manage permissions.

Boards

When building a board, you can select any supported Google Drive resource as your object to indicate the data you want to surface on your board. We automatically determine the primary field for each object. The primary field is meant to be a unique representation of each record in a board.

An object in Stitchflow is a data type that is used to treat several different pieces of data as one unit.

Adding fields

Click Add field to select fields from both within Google Drive and across your other connected tools. We only show fields that can be joined with your chosen object.

Triggering actions

Click Integration actions in the top right of any board to view all available actions across your connected integrations. When selecting an action, you'll be prompted to fill out all required inputs necessary to run the action. Changes and updates made via actions will persist to all boards.

Stitchflow fetches Google Drive data every 24 hours.
