clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "harvest-create-user-assignment",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
harvest: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
accountId: "Account ID",
