New Field on Airtable

Description:Emit new event for each new field created in a table

Version:0.0.6

Key:airtable_oauth-new-field

Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  name: "New Field",
  description: "Emit new event for each new field created in a table",
  key: "airtable_oauth-new-field",
  version: "0.0.6",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    tableId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.airtable,
        "tableId",
        ({ baseId }) => ({
          baseId,
        }),
      ],
      description: "The table ID to watch for changes.",
    },
  },
  methods: {
    _getFieldIds() {
      return this.db.get("fieldIds") || [];
    },
    _setFieldIds(fieldIds) {
      this.db.set("fieldIds", fieldIds);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const fieldIds = this._getFieldIds();

    const { tables } = await this.airtable.listTables({
      baseId: this.baseId,
    });
    const { fields } = tables.find(({ id }) => id === this.tableId);

    for (const field of fields) {
      if (fieldIds.includes(field.id)) {
        continue;
      }
      fieldIds.push(field.id);
      this.$emit(field, {
        id: field.id,
        summary: field.name,
        ts: Date.now(),
      });
    }

    this._setFieldIds(fieldIds);
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Airtable uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Airtable account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Airtable and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Airtable API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read

About Airtable#

DevRev Overview#

The DevRev API bridges the gap between developers and customers, enabling teams to interact with customer data, handle support issues, and integrate with various development workflows. Within Pipedream, you can wield this API to automate tasks like syncing customer feedback with your issue trackers, updating CRM records, or triggering custom notifications based on customer interactions.

Action Code#

import devrev from "../../devrev.app.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  key: "devrev-create-comment",
  name: "Create Comment",
  description: "Creates a new comment on a work item in DevRev. [See the documentation](https://devrev.ai/docs/apis/beta-api-spec#/operations/timeline-entries-create)",

    },
    visibility: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Visibility",
      description: "The visibility of the entry. If `private`, then the entry is only visible to the creator, `internal` is visible with the Dev organization, `external` is visible to the Dev organzation and Rev users, and `public` is visible to all. If not set, then the default visibility is `external`.",
      optional: true,
      options: Object.values(constants.VISIBILITY),
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const data = {
      type: "timeline_comment",
      object: this.workId,
      body: this.body,
      visibility: this.visibility,
    };

    const response = await this.devrev.createComment({
      data,
      $,
    });

    if (response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully created comment with ID ${response.timeline_entry.id}.`);
    }

    return response;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
DevRev	`devrev`	`app`	This component uses the DevRev app.
Work Item	`workId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Body	`body`	`string`	The comment's body
Visibility	`visibility`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`externalinternalprivatepublic`

Action Authentication#

DevRev uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your DevRev account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to DevRev APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT)

In the DevRev app, go to the relevant dev org.
Go to Settings > Account > Personal Access Token.
Click New token and follow the workflow to create your PAT.

As the token value is not retrievable later, we recommend using descriptive names for PATs as it can help you differentiate between multiple PATs.

Copy the PAT and store it securely. Once you go to another page, you cannot retrieve this PAT again.
