Questions about this workflow
Can it recover a file from BytePlus Ark using only the job id?
No. The request needs the Google Drive file id for the trashed file.
Will this restore permanently deleted files?
No. The action restores a file from Drive trash. It does not recover permanently deleted files.
Should this run on a schedule?
Use a webhook when a specific recovery request occurs, so the exact file is identified.
