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.

New Event Received (Instant) on Hookdeck

Description:Emit new event when a new event is received from a HookDeck source.

Version:0.0.2

Hookdeck Overview#

The Hookdeck API facilitates the management of webhooks, providing reliable webhook delivery, monitoring, and debugging solutions. With this API on Pipedream, you can automate workflows concerning incoming webhook data—transforming, routing, and ensuring they trigger the subsequent actions without fail. This could range from logging data for analysis, conditionally processing and forwarding webhook events to other endpoints, or integrating with third-party services for extended automation.

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
Hookdeck	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Hookdeck 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.
Connection Name	`name`	`string`	The name of the connection.
Description	`description`	`string`	The description of the connection.
Pre-exisiting Source	`sourceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
New Source	`source`	`object`	An object representing the source of the connection. Object must contain at least `name`. Please check the documentation for more information.
Destination Name	`destinationName`	`string`	The destination name that will be created or updated with Pipedream HTTP endpoint for Pipedream source to receive your event. Existing destination with the same name will be overridden with the new HTTP endpoint

Trigger Authentication#

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

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.
