Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a Coda trigger and AWS action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Row Created trigger
1. Connect your Coda account
2. Configure timer
3. Select a Doc ID
4. Select a Table ID
5. Optional- Configure Include Updated Rows
Configure the DynamoDB - Create Table action
1. Connect your AWS account
2. Select a AWS Region
3. Configure Table Name
4. Configure Key Hash Attribute Name
5. Select a Key Hash Attribute Type
6. Optional- Configure Key Range Attribute Name

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 Row Created on Coda

Coda Overview#

The Coda API enables you to interact with your Coda docs for both data retrieval and manipulation. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate document updates, synchronize data across different platforms, orchestrate complex workflows, and react to changes in real-time. Coda’s tables can act as dynamic databases that interconnect with various services, allowing you to streamline operations that depend on the timely and accurate exchange of information.

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.

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
AWS	`aws`	`app`	This component uses the AWS app.
AWS Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table Name	`tableName`	`string`	The name of the table
Key Hash Attribute Name	`keyPrimaryAttributeName`	`string`	The name of the partition key
Key Hash Attribute Type	`keyPrimaryAttributeType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "string", "value": "S" }{ "label": "number", "value": "N" }{ "label": "binary", "value": "B" }`
Key Range Attribute Name	`keySecondaryAttributeName`	`string`	The name of the sort key

Action 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.
