Mattermost Overview#

Mattermost is an open-source platform for secure collaboration across the entire software development lifecycle. With the Mattermost API on Pipedream, you can automate common chat operations, integrate with DevOps tools for real-time alerts, orchestrate workflows based on chat events, and connect with other services to enhance team productivity. For instance, you could trigger actions on issue tracking platforms when discussing bugs or link project management tools to update task statuses directly from your Mattermost channels.

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
Mattermost	`mattermost`	`app`	This component uses the Mattermost 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.
Team	`teamId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Channel	`channelId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Display Name	`displayName`	`string`	The display name of the webhook in Mattermost
Trigger Words	`triggerWords`	`string[]`	List of words that will trigger an event
Trigger When	`triggerWhen`	`integer`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "When a trigger word is present in the message", "value": 0 }{ "label": "If the message starts with a trigger word", "value": 1 }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Action Code#

import mysql from "../../mysql.app.mjs";
import utils from "../common/utils.mjs";

export default {
  key: "mysql-create-row",
  name: "Create Row",
  description: "Adds a new row. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/insert.html)",
  type: "action",
  version: "2.0.5",
  props: {
    mysql,
    table: {
      description: "The table to add a row to",
      propDefinition: [
        mysql,
        "table",
      ],
      reloadProps: true,
    },
  },
  additionalProps() {
    return this.getColumnProps(this.table);
  },
  methods: utils,
  async run({ $ }) {
    const { table } = this;

    const {
      columns, values,
    } = await this.getColumnAndValueArrays(table);

    const result = await this.mysql.insertRow({
      table,
      columns,
      values,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully added ${result.affectedRows} row(s) to table ${table}`);

    return result;
  },
};

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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your MySQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
