Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

HelpCrunch Overview#

The HelpCrunch API provides a platform for customer communication, enabling automation of messaging, data synchronization, and customer support activities. It allows you to create and update users, send messages, and manage conversations directly through API calls. Integrating HelpCrunch with Pipedream lets you connect these capabilities to hundreds of other apps, streamlining workflows that can respond dynamically to customer interactions, sync data across platforms, or trigger communications based on specific events.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "helpcrunch-new-customer",
  name: "New Customer",
  version: "0.0.1",
  description: "Emit new event when a new customer is created. [See the documentation](https://docs.helpcrunch.com/en/rest-api-v1/search-customers-v1)",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.helpcrunch.searchCustomers;
    },
    getKey() {
      return "id";
    },
    generateMeta(customer) {
      return {
        id: customer.id,
        summary: `New Customer with ID ${customer.id}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
HelpCrunch	`helpcrunch`	`app`	This component uses the HelpCrunch app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Node Overview#

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:

Action Code#

import node from "../../node.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Run Node Code",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "node-run-node-code",
  description: "Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the [Pipedream Node docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs) to learn more.",
  props: {
    node,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event;
  },
};
