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.

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.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Coda	`coda`	`app`	This component uses the Coda app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Doc ID	`docId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table ID	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Include Updated Rows	`includeUpdates`	`boolean`	Emit events for updates on existing rows?

Trigger Authentication#

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

Create Page from Database Overview#

The Notion Create Page from Database action allows you to add pages to a Notion Database.

This action features easy to use dropdowns that automatically populate your databases as well as your database's properties, also known as columns.

This action interacts with the Notion create a Page API endpoint. The Database selected in the Parent Database ID is used as the parent_id parameter to that endpoint so the page is added to your databaset .
