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

Firebase Admin SDK Overview#

The Firebase Admin SDK API provides powerful backend functionality for Firebase apps. It allows you to interact with Firebase services like Firestore, Firebase Realtime Database, Firebase Storage, and Firebase Authentication directly from a server. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate complex workflows, respond to Firebase events in real-time, and integrate with countless other services.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "firebase_admin_sdk-create-document",
  name: "Create Document",
  description: "Creates a New Document. [See the documentation](https://googleapis.dev/nodejs/firestore/latest/CollectionReference.html#add)",
  version: "0.0.8",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    collection: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.firebase,
        "collection",
        (c) => ({
          region: c.databaseRegion,
        }),
      ],
    },
    data: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.firebase,
        "data",
      ],
    },
    customId: {
      label: "Custom ID",
      description: "Set this custom ID for the created document",
      type: "string",
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getResponse() {
      const data = this.parseBooleanValues(this.data);
      return this.firebase.createDocument(this.collection, data, this.customId);
    },
    emitSummary($, response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully added document ${response?._path?.segments[1] ?? ""}`);
    },
  },
};

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
Firebase Admin SDK	`firebase`	`app`	This component uses the Firebase Admin SDK app.
Database Region	`databaseRegion`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "us-central1", "value": "firebaseio.com" }{ "label": "europe-west1", "value": "europe-west1.firebasedatabase.app" }{ "label": "asia-southeast1", "value": "asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app" }`
Collection	`collection`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Data	`data`	`object`	An Object containing the data for the new document
Custom ID	`customId`	`string`	Set this custom ID for the created document

Action Authentication#

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

Enable the Cloud Firestore API on your Firebase account, and make sure you've created at least one collection in the database.
Follow these instructions to generate a private key tied to your Firebase service account. This will generate a JSON file that contains the project ID, private key, and client email that you should paste below.
When entering the private key, please add the full string included in the JSON file, from -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- to -----END PRIVATE KEY-----, with all newline characters included.
