Actions
What your agents can do in Nextcloud

Read 6
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List search providers
Lists what the server can search, as ocs.data: each provider with its id (like files, contacts, calendar, talk-message, deck, mail), name and appId.
Search
Searches one provider (files by default; others from List search providers, like contacts, calendar, talk-message or mail) for a term, as ocs.data.entries.
List shares
Lists the shares the user made, or those of one file or folder (path, like /Documents/Plan.pdf), or those shared with the user, as ocs.data.
Find people to share with
Finds users, groups, email addresses or other servers' users matching a name, the way the share box does, as ocs.data.
List Talk conversations
Lists the Nextcloud Talk conversations the user is in, as ocs.data.
Read Talk messages
Reads the latest messages of a Talk conversation, newest first, as ocs.data.
Write 3
Create, change or send.
Share a file or folder
Shares a file or folder of the user (path, like /Documents/Plan.pdf): with a user or a group (share_with from Find people), by email, or as a public link anyone can open (link).
Remove a shareDeletes data
Removes a share or public link by its id (from List shares): the people or the link lose access.
Send a Talk message
Posts a message to a Talk conversation as the user, optionally as a reply to a message ID, or silently (no notifications).
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Enter the API credentials from your Nextcloud account.
What you enter
- Login name
- App password
Settings
- Server address
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Nextcloud data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list search providers, search or list shares in Nextcloud, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Nextcloud
Have the agent share a file or folder or send a Talk message in Nextcloud as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Nextcloud and Slack: it can list search providers in Nextcloud and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
