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.

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";
import constants from "../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "notion-new-database",
  name: "New Database",
  description: "Emit new event when a database is created. Note: Databases must be shared with your Pipedream Integtration to trigger event.",
  version: "0.0.8",
  type: "source",
  async run() {
    const databases = [];
    const params = this.lastCreatedSortParam();
    const lastCreatedTimestamp = this.getLastCreatedTimestamp();

    do {
      const response = await this.notion.listDatabases(params);

      for (const database of response.results) {
        if (!this.isResultNew(database.created_time, lastCreatedTimestamp)) {
          params.start_cursor = null;
          break;
        }
        databases.push(database);
      }

      params.start_cursor = response.next_cursor;
    } while (params.start_cursor);

    databases.reverse().forEach((database) => {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(
        database,
        constants.types.DATABASE,
        constants.timestamps.CREATED_TIME,
        constants.summaries.DATABASE_ADDED,
      );
      this.$emit(database, meta);
    });

    const lastCreatedTime = databases[databases.length - 1]?.created_time;
    if (lastCreatedTime) {
      this.setLastCreatedTimestamp(Date.parse(lastCreatedTime));
    }
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Notion	`notion`	`app`	This component uses the Notion app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Ably Overview#

Ably API provides a platform for adding real-time messaging, streaming, and presence capabilities to your apps. With Pipedream, you can harness this power to create dynamic, event-driven workflows. Automate notifications, synchronize data across systems in real time, or react to Ably events to trigger actions in other services, like sending emails, updating databases, or calling external APIs.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  name: "Publish Push Notification",
  version: "0.0.1",
  key: "ably-publish-push-notification",
  description: "Publish a push notification for a channel. [See docs here](https://ably.com/docs/general/push/publish#channel-broadcast-example)",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ably,
    channelName: {
      propDefinition: [
        ably,
        "channelName",
      ],
      description: "The name of channel that will be published",
    },
    notificationTitle: {
      label: "Notification Title",
      description: "The title of push notification",
      type: "string",
    },
    notificationBody: {
      label: "Notification Body",
      description: "The body of push notification",
      type: "string",
    },
    notificationData: {
      label: "Notification Data",
      description: "The data of push notification",
      type: "object",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.ably.publishMessage({
      $,
      channelName: this.channelName,
      data: {
        name: this.eventName,
        data: this.notificationData,
        extras: {
          push: {
            data: this.notificationData,
            notification: {
              title: this.notificationTitle,
              body: this.notificationBody,
            },
          },
        },
      },
    });

    if (response.messageId) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully pushed notification with ID ${response.messageId}`);
    }

    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
Ably	`ably`	`app`	This component uses the Ably app.
Channel Name	`channelName`	`string`	The name of channel that will be published
Notification Title	`notificationTitle`	`string`	The title of push notification
Notification Body	`notificationBody`	`string`	The body of push notification
Notification Data	`notificationData`	`object`	The data of push notification

Action Authentication#

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

The full application key string can obtained through the dashboard and split at the colon.
api_key_initial is the initial segment of the api key before the colon used as the user name
api_key_remaining is the remaining string (without the leading colon) used as the password.
