Baserow Overview#

The Baserow API allows you to interact programmatically with Baserow, an open-source no-code database tool. With its API, you can automate database operations such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting records. Moreover, it's possible to manage databases, tables, fields, and rows, or integrate with external services to enrich or move data in real-time. Leveraging Pipedream’s capabilities, you can trigger workflows from a variety of events and connect Baserow to numerous apps for seamless data processes.

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
Baserow	`baserow`	`app`	This component uses the Baserow app.
Table ID	`tableId`	`integer`	The ID of the table to use. You can find your tables and their IDs on the Baserow API Docs
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`New Row CreatedRow UpdatedRow Deleted`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Baserow uses a simple token based authentication. You need to generate at least one API token in your settings.

Beekeeper Overview#

The Beekeeper API enables seamless integration of its workplace communications platform with other business tools and systems, enhancing team collaboration and operational efficiency. By leveraging the Beekeeper API on Pipedream, you can automate the flow of information between Beekeeper and various applications, trigger actions based on messages or alerts, and synchronize data across your organization's tools. Pipedream's serverless architecture simplifies the process of setting up these automations without the need for dedicated infrastructure.
