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.

Trigger#

New Row on MySQL

Description:Emit new event when you add a new row to a table. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html)

Version:2.0.5

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.

Trigger Code#

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

const { mysql } = common.props;

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mysql-new-row",
  name: "New Row",
  description: "Emit new event when you add a new row to a table. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html)",
  type: "source",
  version: "2.0.5",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    db: "$.service.db",
    column: {
      propDefinition: [
        mysql,
        "column",
        (c) => ({
          table: c.table,
        }),
      ],
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    /**
     * If column prop is left blank, get the table's primary key to use for ordering and deduping.
     * */
    async deploy() {
      const { table } = this;
      let column = this.column;

      if (!column) {
        const keyData = await this.mysql.getPrimaryKey({
          table,
        });
        column = keyData[0].Column_name;
      }

      this._setColumn(column);

      await this.listTopRows(column);
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    _getColumn() {
      return this.db.get("column");
    },
    _setColumn(column) {
      this.db.set("column", column);
    },
    async listResults() {
      const column = this._getColumn();
      await this.listRowResults(column);
    },
    iterateAndEmitEvents(rows) {
      const column = this._getColumn();
      for (const row of rows) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(row, column);
        this.$emit(row, meta);
      }
    },
    generateMeta(row, column) {
      return {
        id: row[column],
        summary: `New Row Added ${column}: ${row[column]}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger 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.

About MySQL#

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system.

Action#

Create Task List on Google Tasks

Description:Creates a new task list and adds it to the authenticated user's task lists. [See the docs here](https://developers.google.com/tasks/reference/rest/v1/tasklists/insert)

Google Tasks Overview#

The Google Tasks API allows you to manage and manipulate a user's tasks and task lists on Google Tasks directly from Pipedream. With this API, you can create, read, update, and delete tasks, as well as manage the lists themselves. This opens up possibilities for automating task management, syncing tasks with other systems, and creating custom task-based workflows that can increase productivity and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "google_tasks-create-task-list",
  name: "Create Task List",
  description: "Creates a new task list and adds it to the authenticated user's task lists. [See the docs here](https://developers.google.com/tasks/reference/rest/v1/tasklists/insert)",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    app,
    title: {
      propDefinition: [
        app,
        "title",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const res = await this.app.insertTaskList($, {
      title: this.title,
    });
    $.export("$summary", "Task list successfully created");
    return res;
  },
};

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
Google Tasks	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Google Tasks app.
Title	`title`	`string`	The title of the task list.

Action Authentication#

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

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks
