Google PubSub

How to connect using the Google PubSub system integration

Overview

Couchdrop can publish data directly to Google PubSub through Automations.

This allows files or payloads received from cloud storage, SFTP/FTP, APIs, or inbound webhooks to be sent to a Google PubSub topic as part of an automated workflow.

How Google PubSub works with Couchdrop

Google PubSub is configured in Couchdrop as a System Integration.

Unlike storage connections, the integration does not appear as a Virtual Folder. Instead, the Google PubSub connection is available as a file action inside an Automation.
