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 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.
De-duplication Key	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Where condition	`condition`	`string`	In this expression you can write your own conditions (eg. `column1 = ? or column2 = ?`). Depending on the number of `?` symbols likewise you need to add the same number of values.
Values	`values`	`string[]`	This is the list of values that will match every `?` symbol in the where expression. If you want to build yourself the values (eg. `{{["string1", "string2"]}}`)

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.

Teachable Overview#

The Teachable API opens up possibilities for automating and enhancing online course interactions and management. Using Pipedream, you can weave together workflows that interact with Teachable events, users, and courses. You can automate enrollment processes, synchronize course data with external systems, and engage students with timely notifications. Pipedream's serverless platform lets you create these workflows with minimal setup, leveraging its ability to trigger actions based on Teachable events or on a schedule, and to integrate with hundreds of other apps.

Action Code#

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
Teachable	`teachable`	`app`	This component uses the Teachable app.
Email	`email`	`string`	Email address of the student
Name	`name`	`string`	Name of the student
SRC	`src`	`string`	The signup source of the user, Information tab of the user profile. SRC can also be used as a custom value when creating users in your school. For example, if you use any unique identifiers to help manage your users in multiple external systems (such as unique IDs, tags, etc.), you can use the src field to keep this identifier associated with your user in Teachable.
Password	`password`	`string`	The password of the new user. Must be at least 6 characters. If no password is set, the student will be sent an email to set a password and confirm their account.
