The Database API on Pipedream allows users to execute SQL commands directly within workflows, enabling rich and dynamic data manipulation and storage. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite, making it a versatile option for managing data across various database systems. With this API, users can perform tasks such as data insertion, querying, updates, and deletions, directly within their automations, facilitating real-time data processing and integration across multiple platforms.
import postgresql from "@pipedream/postgresql";
export default {
props: {
postgresql,
sql: {
type: "sql",
auth: {
app: "postgresql",
},
label: "PostreSQL Query",
},
},
async run({ $ }) {
const args = this.postgresql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql);
const data = await this.postgresql.executeQuery(args);
return data;
},
};
Customer Data Sync Across Platforms: Automatically sync customer data between a CRM platform like Salesforce and a PostgreSQL database on Pipedream whenever new data is entered or updated in Salesforce. This workflow ensures that all customer information remains consistent and up-to-date across enterprise systems.
Real-time Analytics Dashboard Update: Set up a workflow that pulls new transaction data from an e-commerce platform (e.g., Shopify) into a MySQL database every hour and processes this data to update a real-time analytics dashboard. This can help in monitoring sales trends, customer behavior, and inventory levels, providing actionable insights almost instantly.
Automated Backup of Critical Data: Create a nightly workflow that backs up critical data from a production database to a SQLite database on Pipedream. This can include important transaction data, user information, or any other data deemed critical for business operations, ensuring data safety and compliance with data governance standards.
