Custom Library for Extension

[atc6955]

Hey, Hoping someone has solved this problem previously and can point me in the right direction toward the best approach, since there seem to be a few.

We are looking to create GCP cloud tasks via a rowy extension, we need to import a custom library.

require('@google-cloud/tasks')

hi @alta-atc , you should be able to require it in the task type extension (the base extension type, not to be confused gcp tasks)
you might need to add additional IAM permissions to the cloud function service account (rowy-backend@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com)

Thank you. We will take a look at that and let you know how it goes.

Just wanted to report back in and say that this did indeed work. We also needed to grant IAM permissions to rowy-functions@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com for creating the cloud tasks within the function.

This could be a cool idea for an integration, cloud tasks allow for async jobs and are quite useful when dealing with large data sets that generate a lot of changes

Thanks again.
