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 Work Created (Instant) on DevRev

Description:Emit new event when a new work item is created in DevRev.

Version:0.0.2

Key:devrev-new-work-created

DevRev Overview#

The DevRev API bridges the gap between developers and customers, enabling teams to interact with customer data, handle support issues, and integrate with various development workflows. Within Pipedream, you can wield this API to automate tasks like syncing customer feedback with your issue trackers, updating CRM records, or triggering custom notifications based on customer interactions.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "devrev-new-work-created",
  name: "New Work Created (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a new work item is created in DevRev.",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEventTypes() {
      return [
        "work_created",
      ];
    },
    getItem(body) {
      return body.work_created.work;
    },
    generateMeta(work) {
      return {
        id: work.id,
        summary: work.title,
        ts: Date.parse(work.created_date),
      };
    },
  },
  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
DevRev	`devrev`	`app`	This component uses the DevRev app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT)

In the DevRev app, go to the relevant dev org.
Go to Settings > Account > Personal Access Token.
Click New token and follow the workflow to create your PAT.

As the token value is not retrievable later, we recommend using descriptive names for PATs as it can help you differentiate between multiple PATs.

Copy the PAT and store it securely. Once you go to another page, you cannot retrieve this PAT again.

Google Analytics Overview#

The Google Analytics API unlocks the power of your analytics data, enabling automated access to custom reports, real-time statistics, and user behavior analysis. With it, you can extract actionable insights, push data to other platforms, and tailor your business strategy with precision. Leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, these capabilities can be seamlessly integrated into workflows that trigger actions in other apps, send alerts, or even feed data warehouses for deeper analysis.

Action Authentication#

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

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