Available actions

The Google Drive connector does not ship with pre-defined action slugs. Instead, fyrn’s AI generates the appropriate Google Drive API calls based on your flow description. Common operations include:

• Upload File — Upload a file to a specific folder in Google Drive.
• Download File — Download a file from Google Drive by file ID.
• List Files — List files in a folder, optionally filtered by name, type, or modified date.
• Share File — Share a file or folder with specific users or make it accessible via link.
• Create Folder — Create a new folder, optionally nested within an existing folder.
• Move File — Move a file from one folder to another.
• Delete File — Move a file to the trash or permanently delete it.

When you describe a flow involving Google Drive, fyrn generates the correct Google Drive API v3 calls with OAuth2 token refresh handled automatically.
