New Record in Table on nocodb

nocodb Overview#

The NoCodeB (NocoDB) API transforms your databases into a smart Excel sheet, providing a platform for managing your data with the ease of a spreadsheet interface. When combined with Pipedream's capabilities, this API allows you to automate data operations, sync with other databases or apps, and streamline workflows without writing complex code. Using Pipedream, you can trigger events based on changes in your NocoDB, process and manipulate the data, and connect to countless apps to extend functionality, such as sending notifications, updating CRMs, or generating reports.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  type: "source",
  name: "New Record in Table",
  key: "nocodb-new-record",
  description: "Emit new event for each new record in table. [See the documentation](https://data-apis-v2.nocodb.com/#tag/Table-Records/operation/db-data-table-row-list)",
  version: "0.0.6",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getDataToEmit({ Id }) {
      const ts = new Date().getTime();
      return {
        id: Id,
        summary: `New record created (${Id})`,
        ts,
      };
    },
    getTimeField() {
      return "CreatedAt";
    },
  },
};

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
nocodb	`nocodb`	`app`	This component uses the nocodb app.
Workspace ID	`workspaceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Project ID	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table ID	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Nocodb API on this schedule

Trigger Authentication#

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

Your API key can be found in API Tokens Management within your database.
Your domain is where your app is hosted, so for https://mytable.com use mytable.com for the domain.

Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "airtable_oauth-create-field",
  name: "Create Field",
  description: "Create a new field in a table. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-field)",
  version: "0.0.6",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    field: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Field",
      description: "A JSON object representing the field. Refer to [field types](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/model/field-type) for supported field types, the write format for field options, and other specifics for certain field types.",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const field = typeof this.field === "object"
      ? this.field
      : JSON.parse(this.field);
    const data = {
      ...field,
    };
    const response = await this.airtable.createField({
      baseId: this.baseId.value,
      tableId: this.tableId.value,
      data,
      $,
    });

    if (response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully created field with ID ${response.id}.`);
    }

    return response;
  },
};

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read
