Send Dynamic API URLs in the Google Drive App Extension


DocumentalWhop

I’m using the Google Drive App Extension to to automatically update a file in Google Drive with specific Labels. In the Google Drive API, I need to specific the unique fileId for the file I’m trying to edit. For each zap, I would like to dynamically update the fileId. How do I update this?

In the Query Parameters, you don’t need to specify the “fileId” since that’s already specified in the URL with {{fileId}}

 

Instead, you need to define the “fileId” as an input.

Hi @DocumentalWhop 

Good question.

Please link to the GDrive API endpoint docs that you are referencing.

Here’s the Google Drive API link. You see in the HTTP request that the URL destination requires a fileId field.
