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
Gitlab	`gitlab`	`app`	This component uses the Gitlab 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.
Project ID	`projectId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Airtable Overview#

Using the Airtable API, you can build applications that can:

Create and manage databases
Add, update, and delete records
Search for records
Sort and filter records
Display records in a variety of ways
Import and export data

Action Code#

import airtable from "../../airtable.app.mjs";
import common from "../common.mjs";
import commonActions from "../../common/actions.mjs";

export default {
  key: "airtable-update-record",
  name: "Update record",
  description: "Update a single record in a table by Record ID.",
  version: "1.0.2",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    // eslint-disable-next-line pipedream/props-label,pipedream/props-description
    tableId: {
      ...common.props.tableId,
      reloadProps: true,
    },
    recordId: {
      propDefinition: [
        airtable,
        "recordId",
      ],
    },
  },
  async additionalProps() {
    return commonActions.additionalProps(this);
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    return commonActions.updateRecord(this, $);
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Record ID	`recordId`	`string`	Enter a record ID (eg. `recxxxxxxx`).

Action Authentication#

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

Visit your account settings, copy your API key, and enter it below. If you only need to read data from Airtable, and not modify it, you can generate a read-only API key.
