Getting Started#

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

Select this integration
Configure the New Share Created trigger
1. Connect your Nextcloud account
2. Configure timer
3. Optional- Configure Path
4. Optional- Select a Item Type
Configure the Execute SQL Query action
1. Connect your PostgreSQL account
2. Configure PostreSQL Query
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.

Nextcloud Overview#

Nextcloud's API lets you tap into your self-hosted cloud storage and collaboration platform. With Pipedream, you can automate tasks like file management, user account operations, and accessing calendar and contacts. It's a treasure trove for creating workflows that sync, share, and manage data programmatically between Nextcloud and other apps.

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
Nextcloud	`nextcloud`	`app`	This component uses the Nextcloud app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Path	`path`	`string`	Get shares for a specific path
Item Type	`itemType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`filefolder`

Trigger Authentication#

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

PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  name: "Execute SQL Query",
  key: "postgresql-execute-custom-query",
  description: "Execute a custom PostgreSQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.",

      },
      label: "PostreSQL Query",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const args = this.postgresql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql);
    const data = await this.postgresql.executeQuery(args);
    $.export("$summary", `Returned ${data.length} ${data.length === 1
      ? "row"
      : "rows"}`);
    return data;
  },
};

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 PostgreSQL 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.
