Grist
The evolution of spreadsheets.
Integrate the Grist API with the Snowflake API
Setup the Grist API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Snowflake API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Grist and Snowflake remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Grist and Snowflake Triggers#
Run a SQL query on a schedule, triggering a workflow for each row of results
Emit new event once a record is updated or newly created in Grist. See the documentation
Emit new event when a record is just created. See the documentation
Popular Grist and Snowflake Actions#
Overview of Grist#
Grist API on Pipedream enables you to automate data management tasks in your Grist documents. This might mean syncing data across different platforms, triggering notifications based on data changes, or processing data through custom logic. With Pipedream, you can use the Grist API to build workflows that react to events in real-time, connect to hundreds of other services, manipulate data in sophisticated ways, and create custom endpoints to integrate with your Grist data.
Connect Grist#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
grist: {
type: "app",
app: "grist",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://docs.getgrist.com/api/orgs`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.grist.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Snowflake#
Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.
Getting Started
1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake
Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.
We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.
2. Enter those details in Pipedream
Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.
You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.
3. Build your first workflow
Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.
