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.

Trigger#

New Post Published on Circle

Description:Emit new event each time a new post gets published in the community.

Version:0.0.1

Circle Overview#

The Circle API enables developers to tap into the heart of their Circle community platform, allowing them to read and write various types of community data programmatically. With this API, you can automate community management tasks, extract insights, manage members, and create a more dynamic and integrated community experience. By leveraging the Circle API within Pipedream's ecosystem, you can stitch together powerful workflows that react to events in Circle, push data to other services, and streamline community operations.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "circle-new-post",
  name: "New Post Published",
  description: "Emit new event each time a new post gets published in the community.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {

    _getLastId() {
      return this.db.get("lastId") || 0;
    },
    _setLastId(lastId) {
      return this.db.set("lastId", lastId);
    },
    async getResponse({
      maxResults, lastId,
    }) {
      const response = this.circle.paginate({
        fn: this.circle.listPosts,
        maxResults,
        params: {
          status: "all",
          community_id: this.communityId,
          space_id: this.spaceId,
        },
      });

      const responseArray = [];

      for await (const item of response) {
        if (item.id <= lastId) break;
        responseArray.push(item);
      }

      if (responseArray.length) {
        this._setLastId(responseArray[0].id);
      }
      return responseArray;
    },
    getSummary({ id }) {
      return `New post with ID: ${id}`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Circle	`circle`	`app`	This component uses the Circle app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Community ID	`communityId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Space ID	`spaceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API keys,

Navigate to your Circle account and sign in
Go to “Settings” > “Account” > “API”

Jobber Overview#

The Jobber API allows for the automation of service business operations, such as scheduling jobs, managing clients, and invoicing. By pairing it with Pipedream, you can craft powerful serverless workflows that react to events in Jobber or integrate with other services to streamline your business processes. With Pipedream’s ability to connect to hundreds of apps, you can create custom automations without writing a lot of code, handling everything from data transformations to complex logic.

Action Authentication#

Jobber uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Jobber account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Jobber and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Jobber API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
