Overview of Canvas#
The Canvas API allows you to tap into the power of the Canvas Learning Management System, enabling educators and administrators to automate tasks, synchronize educational tools, and manage courses and users programmatically. It provides endpoints for accessing course information, user details, assignments, and more, which can be incredibly useful for creating customized educational experiences and streamlining administrative workflows. With Pipedream, you can harness these capabilities to trigger actions, connect with other apps and services, and create complex automations without writing extensive code.
Connect Canvas#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
canvas: {
type: "app",
app: "canvas",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://${this.canvas.$auth.domain}/api/v1/users/self`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.canvas.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Filter#
The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.
Connect Filter#
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
let condition = false
if (condition == false) {
$.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
} else {
$.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
}
},
