with Expensify and Node?
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.

The Expensify API enables the automation of expense reporting and management tasks. By harnessing this API within Pipedream, you can craft workflows that streamline the expense submission process, synchronize financial data across platforms, and trigger actions based on expense report statuses. With Pipedream’s serverless platform, these automations can run in the background, allowing for real-time data processing and interaction between Expensify and a myriad of other apps and services.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
expensify: {
type: "app",
app: "expensify",
}
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// The Expensify API requires the request data to be sent as
// a URL-encoded form with a key of "requestJobDescription".
// The value of this key must be a JSON string.
// First, define the JSON object as per the Expensify API documentation.
const requestJobDescription = {
type: "get",
credentials: {
partnerUserID: this.expensify.$auth.partnerUserId,
partnerUserSecret: this.expensify.$auth.partnerUserSecret,
},
inputSettings: {
type: "policyList",
}
};
// Use URLSearchParams to create a properly formatted form body.
const formData = new URLSearchParams();
formData.append('requestJobDescription', JSON.stringify(requestJobDescription));
// Make the API call with the correctly formatted data.
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://integrations.expensify.com/Integration-Server/ExpensifyIntegrations`,
data: formData,
// It's good practice to explicitly set the Content-Type header
// to match the data format.
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
},
});
},
})
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json
file or running npm install
.
Below is an example of installing the axios
package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios
package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
