If you need to perform an action that’s not listed here, you can get in touch with us to request a new tool, or create your own tools.
Each tool requires specific Google OAuth scopes to function. You’ll find the required scopes listed in a blue info box at the end of each tool’s documentation below. For more information about configuring OAuth and tips for moving to production, see the Google auth provider documentation.
The drive.file scope only grants access to files that were created or opened by your application. If you need broader access to a user’s Google Drive presentations (e.g., to access presentations created by other applications), you’ll need to create your own Google OAuth provider and request the drive.readonly or drive scope. Note that these broader scopes are not supported by Arcade’s default Google OAuth provider.
