Connect

Establishes a connection to Google Cloud Storage service.

Common Properties​

  • Name - The custom name of the node.
  • Color - The custom color of the node.
  • Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
  • Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
  • Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info

If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.

Output​

  • GCS Client Id - The client identifier for the established Google Cloud Storage connection, used by other Storage nodes.

Options​

  • Credentials - Google Cloud credentials used to authenticate with the Cloud Storage API.

How It Works​

The Connect node establishes a connection to Google Cloud Storage service using provided credentials. When executed, the node:

  1. Authenticates with Google Cloud Storage API using the provided credentials
  2. Creates a storage client instance
  3. Returns a client identifier that can be used by other Google Storage nodes

Requirements​

  • Valid Google Cloud credentials with appropriate permissions for Cloud Storage
  • Enabled Cloud Storage API in your Google Cloud project

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Invalid or missing Google Cloud credentials
  • Google Cloud Storage API authentication errors
  • Network connectivity issues
  • Google Cloud service errors

Usage Notes​

  • This node must be executed before using other Google Storage nodes
  • The output GCS Client Id is required as input for other Storage operations
  • Credentials should have appropriate permissions for the intended storage operations
  • The connection remains active for the duration of the flow execution
  • Multiple Connect nodes can be used to establish connections to different Google Cloud projects
  • The client identifier is automatically managed by the system
