Subscribe to Google Drive file and folder changes via Pub/Sub notifications
by googleworkspaceFree
Description
recipe-watch-drive-changes is a recipe skill from the Google Workspace CLI project, listed on skills.sh. It subscribes to change notifications for a Google Drive file or folder, delivered through Pub/Sub. The steps create a subscription on the Drive resource for the file-updated event type, with a Pub/Sub topic as the notification endpoint and the resource included in each payload. The recipe then lists active subscriptions, and it shows how to renew a subscription with gws events +renew before it expires. It requires the gws-events skill and the gws binary. Creating a subscription sets up a notification channel in a Google Cloud project, so the user needs that project and topic in place first. It suits developers who want to react to changes in a Drive folder, such as triggering a process when a document is updated, and who are comfortable running a Pub/Sub setup.…
