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.

Mastodon Overview#

The Mastodon API enables you to interact with the Mastodon social network programmatically. Through Pipedream's integration, you can automate posting, monitor timelines, follow accounts, and more. Powerful workflows can be built around these capabilities, facilitating content distribution, social listening, and audience engagement without manual intervention.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mastodon-new-status",
  name: "New Status",
  description: "Emit new event when a new status is posted to your Profile. [See the docs here](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/accounts/#statuses)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      const statuses = await this.mastodon.listStatuses();
      const sinceId = statuses[0]?.id;
      for (const status of statuses.slice(0, 10).reverse()) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(status);
        this.$emit(status, meta);
      }
      this._setSinceId(sinceId);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    _getSinceId() {
      return this.db.get("sinceId");
    },
    _setSinceId(sinceId) {
      this.db.set("sinceId", sinceId);
    },
    generateMeta(status) {
      return {
        id: status.id,
        summary: `New status with ID ${status.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(status.created_at),
      };
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const params = {
      since_id: this._getSinceId(),
    };
    const statuses = await this.mastodon.listStatuses({
      params,
    });
    for (const status of statuses) {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(status);
      this.$emit(status, meta);
    }
    if (statuses[0]?.id) {
      this._setSinceId(statuses[0]?.id);
    }
  },
};

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

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Mastodon#

Mastodon is a decentralized social network made up of independent servers organized around specific themes, topics, or interests.

Action#

Description:Create a new field in a table. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-field)

Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "airtable_oauth-create-field",
  name: "Create Field",
  description: "Create a new field in a table. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-field)",
  version: "0.0.7",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    field: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Field",
      description: "A JSON object representing the field. Refer to [field types](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/model/field-type) for supported field types, the write format for field options, and other specifics for certain field types.",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const field = typeof this.field === "object"
      ? this.field
      : JSON.parse(this.field);
    const data = {
      ...field,
    };
    const response = await this.airtable.createField({
      baseId: this.baseId.value,
      tableId: this.tableId.value,
      data,
      $,
    });

    if (response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully created field with ID ${response.id}.`);
    }

    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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Field	`field`	`string`	A JSON object representing the field. Refer to field types for supported field types, the write format for field options, and other specifics for certain field types.

Action Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read
