Build and run workflows using the PostgreSQL API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

const { rows } = await this.postgresql.executeQuery(queryObj);

Example Use Cases#
Real-time Data Sync: Keep your PostgreSQL database in sync with another data store, like Google Sheets. Each time a new row is added to a PostgreSQL table, a Pipedream workflow can insert the corresponding data into a Google Sheet, ensuring that your team has access to the latest information without manual updates.
Automated Backups: Set up a workflow that triggers on a schedule to perform database backups. The workflow could export data from selected PostgreSQL tables and save them to a cloud storage platform like Dropbox or Google Drive, providing regular and reliable backups without manual intervention.
Event-Driven Notifications: Create a Pipedream workflow that watches for specific changes in your PostgreSQL database, such as a new customer sign-up or reaching a stock threshold. Upon detecting the change, it can send a notification through platforms like Slack or email, keeping relevant stakeholders informed instantly and facilitating timely responses.
Popular PostgreSQL Integrations#
Popular PostgreSQL Triggers#
Emit new event when a new column is added to a table. See the documentation
Emit new event when a row is added or modified. See the documentation
Emit new event when a new row is added to a table. See the documentation
Emit new event when new rows are returned from a custom query that you provide. See the documentation
Emit new event when a new table is added to the database. See the documentation
Popular PostgreSQL Actions#
Executes a custom query you provide. See the documentation
Finds a row in a table via a custom query. See the documentation
Authentication#
PostgreSQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your PostgreSQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to PostgreSQL APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Before you connect to your PostgreSQL database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is either:
- Accessible from the public internet (You may need to add a firewall rule on
0.0.0.0/0on port 5432), or - Accessible from a static IP that you've configured from a VPC in Pipedream, and enabled the workflow to connect through that VPC
SSL Setup
Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification (default), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
