Dext Overview#

The Dext API allows you to automate the management of expenses, receipts, and invoices within your Dext account. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to create workflows that streamline your finance operations, such as extracting data from receipts, categorizing expenses, and syncing financial documents across various platforms. By connecting Dext with other apps through Pipedream, you can craft efficient, serverless workflows that save time and reduce manual data entry.

Trigger Code#

import dext from "../../dext.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

        this.$emit(client, meta);
      }
    }

    this._setPreviousIds(previousIds);

GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.

Action Code#

import github from "../../github.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "github-create-issue-comment",
  name: "Create Issue Comment",
  description: "Create a new comment in a issue. [See the documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/issues/comments#create-an-issue-comment)",
  version: "0.0.18",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    github,
    repoFullname: {
      propDefinition: [
        github,
        "repoFullname",
      ],
    },
    issueNumber: {
      label: "Issue Number",
      description: "The number that identifies the issue.",
      type: "integer",
      propDefinition: [
        github,
        "issueNumber",
        (c) => ({
          repoFullname: c.repoFullname,
        }),
      ],
    },
    body: {
      label: "Body",
      description: "The contents of the comment",
      type: "string",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.github.createIssueComment({
      repoFullname: this.repoFullname,
      issueNumber: this.issueNumber,
      data: {
        body: this.body,
      },
    });

    $.export("$summary", "Successfully commented in the issue.");

    return response;
  },
};
