Overview of FreshBooks#

The FreshBooks API lets you automate invoicing, expense tracking, timekeeping and client management tasks. By harnessing this API within Pipedream, you can create custom automations that sync your financial data with other business applications, respond to client actions quickly, and streamline payment processes. The API enables you to pull reports, manage invoices, and update client information, making it a powerful tool for freelancers and small businesses looking to automate their accounting tasks.

Connect FreshBooks#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    freshbooks: {
      type: "app",
      app: "freshbooks",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.freshbooks.com/auth/api/v1/users/me`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.freshbooks.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

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:

Connect Node#

// 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
  },
})
