Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

AWS Overview#

The AWS API unlocks endless possibilities for automation with Pipedream. With this powerful combo, you can manage your AWS services and resources, automate deployment workflows, process data, and react to events across your AWS infrastructure. Pipedream offers a serverless platform for creating workflows triggered by various events that can execute AWS SDK functions, making it an efficient tool to integrate, automate, and orchestrate tasks across AWS services and other apps.

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
AWS	`aws`	`app`	This component uses the AWS app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
AWS Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
SNS Topic	`topicArn`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
SNS Topic Name	`topic`	`string`	Pipedream will create an SNS topic with this name in your account, converting it to a valid SNS topic name.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Follow the AWS Instructions for creating an IAM user with an associated access and secret key.

As a best practice, attach the minimum set of IAM permissions necessary to perform the specific task in Pipedream. If your workflow only needs to perform a single API call, you should create a user and associate an IAM group / policy with permission to do only that task. You can create as many linked AWS accounts in Pipedream as you'd like.

Enter your access and secret key below.

Get Record(s) on Knack

Knack Overview#

The Knack API allows for robust interactions with your Knack database, enabling automation of data entry, retrieval, updates, and deletion. With Pipedream, you can leverage these capabilities to create seamless workflows that react to events in real-time, sync data across platforms, and enhance your database management without manual intervention. Think less about CRUD operations and more about the magic of connecting your Knack data to the digital tools ecosystem.

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
Knack	`knack`	`app`	This component uses the Knack app.
Object Key	`objectKey`	`string`	The key of the object which this record belongs to. See the Knack API docs for more information.
Record ID	`recordId`	`string`	The ID of the record to retrieve. If not specified, all records for the specified object will be retrieved. See the Knack API docs for more information.
Sort Field	`sortField`	`string`	The field key to sort the records by. Use in conjunction with `Sort Order`. Example value: `field_1` See the Knack API docs for more information.
Sort Order	`sortOrder`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Ascending", "value": "asc" }{ "label": "Descending", "value": "desc" }`
Filters	`filters`	`string[]`	One or more filters the returned records should match. Each filter should be a string representing a JSON object. Example value: `{ "field": "field_1", "operator": "contains", "value": "my name" }` See the Knack API docs for more information.
Filter Type	`filterType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Match any filter", "value": "or" }{ "label": "Match all filters", "value": "and" }`

Action Authentication#

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

Object-based requests require at least two headers: an application ID - to identify to our servers the app whose records you are requesting - and an API key (which is specific to each app) to authenticate the request. See docs.
