Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})

Overview of Gmail#

By connecting your personal Gmail account to Pipedream, you'll be able to incorporate email into whatever you're building with any of the thousands of apps that are available on Pipedream.

Connect Gmail#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    gmail: {
      type: "app",
      app: "gmail",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.gmail.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})
