New Cancelled Event on Google Calendar

Version:0.1.11

Key:google_calendar-event-cancelled

Google Calendar Overview#

The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "google_calendar-event-cancelled",
  name: "New Cancelled Event",
  description: "Emit new event when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted",
  version: "0.1.11",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    calendarId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.googleCalendar,
        "calendarId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getConfig({
      intervalMs, now,
    }) {
      const updatedMin = new Date(now.getTime() - intervalMs).toISOString();
      return {
        calendarId: this.calendarId,
        updatedMin,
        showDeleted: true,
        singleEvents: true,
        orderBy: "startTime",
      };
    },
    isRelevant(event) {
      return event.status === "cancelled";
    },
  },
  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
Google Calendar	`googleCalendar`	`app`	This component uses the Google Calendar app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Calendar ID	`calendarId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Google Calendar uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Calendar account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Calendar 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 Calendar API.

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.eventshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.settings.readonlyemailprofile

About Google Calendar#

OCRSpace Overview#

The OCRSpace API enables text extraction from images and PDFs, converting various image formats into editable and searchable data. This service is a game-changer for automating document handling processes, where the need to digitize content is crucial. Pipedream's platform allows for seamless integration of OCRSpace's capabilities with various apps to streamline workflows, such as organizing documents, populating databases, or even triggering event-driven actions based on the extracted content.

Action Code#

import common from "../common/process-base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "ocrspace-process-pdf",
  name: "Process PDF for OCR",
  description: "Submit a PDF for OCR processing. [See the documentation](https://ocr.space/ocrapi)",
  version: "0.1.0",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    file: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.ocrspace,
        "file",
      ],
      label: "PDF File",
      description: "The URL of the PDF file or the path to the file saved to the `/tmp` directory  (e.g. `/tmp/example.pdf`)  to process. [See the documentation](https://pipedream.com/docs/workflows/steps/code/nodejs/working-with-files/#the-tmp-directory).",
    },
  },
  methods: {
    getSummary() {
      return "Submitted PDF for OCR processing.";
    },
  },
};

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
OCRSpace	`ocrspace`	`app`	This component uses the OCRSpace app.
Language	`language`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Arabic", "value": "ara" }{ "label": "Bulgarian", "value": "bul" }{ "label": "Chinese (Simplified)", "value": "chs" }{ "label": "Chinese (Traditional)", "value": "cht" }{ "label": "Croatian", "value": "hrv" }{ "label": "Czech", "value": "cze" }{ "label": "Danish", "value": "dan" }{ "label": "Dutch", "value": "dut" }{ "label": "English", "value": "eng" }{ "label": "Finnish", "value": "fin" }{ "label": "French", "value": "fre" }{ "label": "German", "value": "ger" }{ "label": "Greek", "value": "gre" }{ "label": "Hungarian", "value": "hun" }{ "label": "Korean", "value": "kor" }{ "label": "Italian", "value": "ita" }{ "label": "Japanese", "value": "jpn" }{ "label": "Polish", "value": "pol" }{ "label": "Portuguese", "value": "por" }{ "label": "Russian", "value": "rus" }{ "label": "Slovenian", "value": "slv" }{ "label": "Spanish", "value": "spa" }{ "label": "Swedish", "value": "swe" }{ "label": "Turkish", "value": "tur" }`
Is Overlay Required	`isOverlayRequired`	`boolean`	If true, returns the coordinates of the bounding boxes for each word. If false, the OCR'ed text is returned only as a text block (this makes the JSON reponse smaller). Overlay data can be used, for example, to show text over the image
Detect Orientation	`detectOrientation`	`boolean`	If set to true, the api autorotates the image correctly and sets the TextOrientation parameter in the JSON response. If the image is not rotated, then TextOrientation=0, otherwise it is the degree of the rotation, e. g. "270".
Scale	`scale`	`boolean`	If set to true, the api does some internal upscaling. This can improve the OCR result significantly, especially for low-resolution PDF scans. Note that the front page demo uses scale=true, but the API uses scale=false by default. See also this OCR forum post.
Is Table	`isTable`	`boolean`	If set to true, the OCR logic makes sure that the parsed text result is always returned line by line. This switch is recommended for table OCR, receipt OCR, invoice processing and all other type of input documents that have a table like structure.
OCR Engine	`ocrEngine`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "OCR Engine 1", "value": "1" }{ "label": "OCR Engine 2", "value": "2" }`
PDF File	`file`	`string`	The URL of the PDF file or the path to the file saved to the `/tmp` directory (e.g. `/tmp/example.pdf`) to process. See the documentation

Action Authentication#

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