googleDriveDeleteFolder Step

Description:

This step deletes a folder from Google Drive.

 

Inputs

  • selOAuthProvider - Select OAuth provider
  • destinationFilePath - Path to delete folder 
 

 

Returns

  • True – step executed successfully
  • False – step failed to execute 
 

 

Usage:

 

 

To use this step, Google Drive should be configured using Flowwright OAuth connections.

 

A sample Google OAuth configuration is included here for reference.

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “GoogleDriveDeleteFolderDef” example.          

  • Create a new process definition called “GoogleDriveDeleteFolderDef” and open it in Designer mode. 
  • Drag a “GoogleDriveDeleteFolder” step from the toolbox
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and “GoogleDriveDeleteFolder” steps, as shown above.  
  • Click the “GoogleDriveDeleteFolder” step to configure its “Required” properties. Provide a name for the step. Select the OAuth provider from the dropdown list. Provide the folder path to be deleted. Click the Save button. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button for the Copilot to add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, and then execute it. Render the process instance. Click the process step to view its properties. The step should delete the folder from Google Drive.

 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import them (drag-and-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page. 

Note: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections, after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
