Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a MongoDB trigger and CloudTables action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Collection trigger
1. Connect your MongoDB account
2. Configure Polling Interval
3. Select a Database
Configure the Add Single Row action
1. Connect your CloudTables account
2. Select a Data set
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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 Collection on MongoDB

Description:Emit new an event when a new collection is added to a database

Version:0.0.7

Key:mongodb-new-collection

View on GitHub

MongoDB Overview#

The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mongodb-new-collection",
  name: "New Collection",
  description: "Emit new an event when a new collection is added to a database",
  version: "0.0.7",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    database: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.mongodb,
        "database",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    _getCollectionIds() {
      return this.db.get("collectionIds");
    },
    _setCollectionIds(collectionIds) {
      this.db.set("collectionIds", collectionIds);
    },
    isRelevant(uuid, collectionIds) {
      return !collectionIds.includes(uuid);
    },
    async processEvent(client, ts) {
      const collectionIds = this._getCollectionIds() || [];
      const collections = await this.mongodb.listCollections(client, this.database);
      for (const collection of collections) {
        const uuid = JSON.stringify(collection.info.uuid);
        if (!this.isRelevant(uuid, collectionIds)) {
          continue;
        }
        collectionIds.push(uuid);
        this.emitEvent(collection, ts);
      }
      this._setCollectionIds(collectionIds);
    },
    generateMeta({
      info, name,
    }, ts) {
      return {
        id: info.uuid,
        summary: name,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
MongoDB	`mongodb`	`app`	This component uses the MongoDB app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Database	`database`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Mongo database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is accessible from the public internet. You may need to add a firewall rule allowing connections from 0.0.0.0/0.

Then, enter the details of your Mongo host / database below.

Add Single Row on CloudTables

Description:Add a single row of data into CloudTable data set

Version:0.0.1

Key:cloudtables-add-single-row

View on GitHub

CloudTables Overview#

CloudTables API allows the creation and manipulation of sophisticated and dynamic data tables in the cloud. With this API, you can manage table schemas, insert, update, and fetch data in real time, and control access with fine-grained permissions. Leveraging CloudTables on Pipedream, you can automate data flows, sync with other services, and respond to events—think of it as supercharging your data tables with the power of integration and automation.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "cloudtables-add-single-row",
  name: "Add Single Row",
  description: "Add a single row of data into CloudTable data set",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    cloudtables,
    datasetID: {
      propDefinition: [
        cloudtables,
        "datasetID",
      ],
      withLabel: true,
      reloadProps: true,
    },
  },
  async additionalProps() {
    const datasetID = this.datasetID?.value ?? this.datasetID;
    const dataSetSchema = await this.cloudtables.getDataSetSchema(datasetID);
    const { datapoints } = dataSetSchema;

    const props = {};
    for (const datapoint of datapoints) {
      // the column type is not available in cloudtables API
      props[`col_${datapoint.id}`] = {
        type: "string",
        label: datapoint.name,
        optional: true,
      };
    }

    return props;
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const datasetID = this.datasetID?.value ?? this.datasetID;
    const dataSetSchema = await this.cloudtables.getDataSetSchema(datasetID);
    const { datapoints } = dataSetSchema;

    if (datapoints.length === 0) {
      throw new Error(`No data points available at [${datasetID}].`);
    }

    const rowData = datapoints
      .reduce((prevValue, currValue) => {
        return {
          ...prevValue,
          [currValue.id]: this[`col_${currValue.id}`],
        };
      }, {});

    const postRowResponse = await this.cloudtables.postRowIntoDataSet(datasetID, rowData);

    $.export("$summary", `Added 1 row to [${datasetID}].`);

    return postRowResponse;
  },
};

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
CloudTables	`cloudtables`	`app`	This component uses the CloudTables app.
Data set	`datasetID`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

To connect your CloudTables account with Pipedream,

Copy your custom subdomain from the Setting page of your CloudTables. You can also copy it from the URL directly (if the URL is https://123abc.cloudtables.com, your subdomain is 123abc.
Copy your api_key from the Security page of your CloudTables account.
