How to create time-driven triggers in a google API service account

Question

One of our Java applications uses a google API service account to process all the Google Drive Documents shared to it. As at the moment there is no REST API for manipulating the content of the documents, I plan to use a Google Apps Script with a time driven trigger for that purpose.

Could not find how to set up such a trigger for a google API service account. Needing some help. Thanks.

Answer 1

According to the Documentation, Time-Driven Triggers execute under the trigger owner identity. So it is not important which account type uses your Java Applications.

Answer 2

There is no special trigger for google API service accounts Setting up a trigger is the same for any account. Have a look at the documentation on triggers for more information
