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.

LinearB Overview#

The LinearB API serves as a bridge between LinearB's project management insights and your preferred platforms, offering the ability to automate workflows, generate reports, and trigger actions based on project metrics. With Pipedream, these capabilities can be harnessed to create custom workflows that respond to events within LinearB, such as changes in project status or team performance metrics. The data can be pushed to various services, such as communication tools, databases, or other project management apps to enhance visibility and coordination across your team.

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
LinearB	`app`	`app`	This component uses the LinearB app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API
Repository ID	`repositoryId`	`integer`	The git repository id. Eg. `1`

Trigger Authentication#

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

GitLab Overview#

The GitLab API provides programmatic access to your GitLab projects, allowing you to automate common tasks, manage issues, merge requests, and more. With the GitLab API on Pipedream, you can create customized workflows that integrate with other services, streamline your development process, and enhance project management. By leveraging the power of serverless, you can set up triggers for GitLab events and perform actions across a variety of apps without managing infrastructure.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "gitlab-create-branch",
  name: "Create Branch",
  description: "Create a new branch in the repository. [See the documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/branches.html#create-repository-branch)",
  version: "0.3.2",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    gitlab,
    projectId: {
      propDefinition: [
        gitlab,
        "projectId",
      ],
    },
    ref: {
      propDefinition: [
        gitlab,
        "branch",
        (c) => ({
          projectId: c.projectId,
        }),
      ],
      label: "Branch Ref",
      description: "The branch name or commit SHA to create branch from",
    },
    branchName: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Branch Name",
      description: "The name of the branch to create",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.gitlab.createBranch(this.projectId, this.branchName, this.ref);
    $.export("$summary", `Created branch ${this.branchName}`);
    return response;
  },
};

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
GitLab	`gitlab`	`app`	This component uses the GitLab app.
Project ID	`projectId`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Branch Ref	`ref`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Branch Name	`branchName`	`string`	The name of the branch to create

Action Authentication#

GitLab uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your GitLab account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into GitLab and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any GitLab API.

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