Trigger#

New Database on Notion

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

Key:notion-new-database

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:

Urlbox.io Overview#

The Urlbox.io API lets you capture live, high-quality screenshots of web pages programmatically, offering a range of customization options such as setting the viewport size, format, and full-page capture. On Pipedream, this powerful tool can be integrated into workflows to automate screenshot capture for archiving, monitoring, and reporting tasks, or as part of a larger data collection and analysis pipeline.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "urlbox_io-generate-screenshot-from-url",
  name: "Generate Screenshot From URL",

Force	`force`	`boolean`	Generate a fresh screenshot or PDF, instead of getting a cached version.
Unique	`unique`	`string`	Pass a unique string such as a UUID, hash or timestamp, to have more control over when to generate a fresh screenshot or PDF. For example, you could do something like unique=$1681161683702 to get a new value for unique each time it is called.
ttl	`ttl`	`integer`	Short for 'time to live'. Number of seconds to keep a screenshot in the cache. Note the default is also the maximum value for this option. Default is `2592000 (30 days - this is also the maximum value)`.
Proxy	`proxy`	`string`	Pass in a proxy server address to make screenshot requests via that server in the format [address]:[port]. If proxy authentication is required, you can use the following format: [user]:[password]@[address]:[port].
Header	`header`	`string`	Set a header on the request when loading the URL. Example: To set the header with key `X-My-Header` to the value `SomeValue`, you would pass `header=X-My-Header%3DSomeValue`. This can be set multiple times, to set more than one header - e.g. `header=X-My-Header%3DSomeValue&header=X-My-Other-Header%3DSomeOtherValue`. As with all options passed via the query string, the header value must be URL encoded - so `X-My-Header=SomeValue` becomes `X-My-Header%3DSomeValue` in order to be interpreted correctly by Urlbox.
Cookie	`cookie`	`string`	Sets a cookie on the request when loading the URL. Example: To set the cookie with key `Opt-In` to the value `yes`, you would pass `cookie=Opt-In%3Dyes`. This can be set multiple times, to set more than one cookie - e.g.`cookie=Opt-In%3Dyes&cookie=Session-Id%3DMTIzNDU`. As with all options passed in the query string, the cookie value must be URL encoded - so `OptIn=true` becomes `OptIn%3Dtrue` in order to be interpreted correctly by Urlbox.
User Agent	`userAgent`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`randommobiledesktopGooglebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)facebookexternalhit/1.1`
Accept Lang	`acceptLang`	`string`	Sets an Accept-Language header on requests to the target URL. Default is `en-US`.
Authorization	`authorization`	`string`	Sets an `Authorization` header on requests to the target URL. Can be used to pass an auth token through to the site in order to 'login' before rendering.
TZ	`tz`	`string`	Sets the local timezone to use for the screenshot. Default is `UTC`
Delay	`delay`	`string`	Amount of time to wait in milliseconds before urlbox takes the screenshot.
Timeout	`timeout`	`integer`	Amount of time to wait in milliseconds for the website at url to respond. Default is 30000.
Wait Until	`waitUntil`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`downloadedmostrequestfinishedrequestsfinishedloaded`
Wait For	`waitFor`	`string`	Waits for the element specified by this selector to be present in the DOM before taking a screenshot or pdf. By default, Urlbox will take a screenshot or PDF if the `wait_for` element is not found after waiting for the time specified by the `wait_timeout` option. If you prefer Urlbox to fail the request when the `wait_for` element is not found, pass `fail_if_selector_missing=true`
Wait To Leave	`waitToLeave`	`string`	Waits for the element specified by this selector to be absent from the DOM before taking a screenshot or PDF. A typical use-case would be waiting for loading spinners to be absent before taking a screenshot. By default, Urlbox will take a screenshot or PDF if the `wait_to_leave` element is still present after the time specified by the `wait_timeout` option. If you prefer Urlbox to fail the request when the `wait_to_leave` element is still present, pass `fail_if_selector_present=true`
Wait Timeout	`waitTimeout`	`integer`	The amount of time to wait for the `wait_for` element to be available before continuing, in milliseconds. Default is `30000 (30 seconds)`
Scroll To	`scrollto`	`string`	Scroll, to either an element or to a pixel offset from the top, before taking a screenshot of PDF.
Click	`click`	`string`	Specifies an element selector to click before generating a screenshot or PDF. Example: `#clickme` would click an element with `id="clickme"`. Can be used multiple times to simulate multiple sequential click events. If the selector matches multiple elements, only the first element will be clicked.
Click All	`clickAll`	`string`	Specifies an element selector to click before generating a screenshot or PDF. Example: `.clickme` would click all elements with `class="clickme"`. Can be used multiple times to simulate multiple sequential click events. If the selector matches multiple elements, all elements will be clicked.
Hover	`hover`	`string`	Specifies an element selector to hover over before generating a screenshot or PDF. Example: `#hoverme` would hover over the element with `id="clickme".`
Bg Color	`bgColor`	`string`	Specify a hex code or CSS color string to use as the background color. Some websites don't set a body background colour, and will show up as transparent backgrounds with PNG, or black when using JPG. Use this setting to set a background colour. If the website explicitly sets a transparent background on the html or body elements, this setting will be overridden.
Disable JS	`disable_js`	`boolean`	Turn off javascript on target url to prevent popups. Enabling this option will prevent full_page=true and many other options, because having javascript disabled prevents Urlbox from evaluating code inside the page's context.
Full Width	`fullWidth`	`boolean`	When full_page=true, specify whether to capture the full width of the website, for example if the site is horizontally scrolling.
Allow Infinite	`allowInfinite`	`boolean`	By default, when Urlbox detects an infinite scrolling page, it does not attempt to continue scrolling to the bottom, as this could result in infinite scrolling! If you want to override this behaviour, pass `true` for this option.
Skip Scroll	`skipScroll`	`boolean`	Enabling `skip_scroll` will speed up renders by skipping an initial scroll through the page, which is used to trigger any lazy loading elements.
Detect Full Height	`detectFullHeight`	`string`	Some pages have full-height backgrounds whose heights are set to 100% of the viewport. This can cause the backgrounds to get stretched when making a full page screenshot. If you are seeing this behaviour in your full page screenshots, pass `true` for this option.
Max Section Height	`maxSectionHeight`	`integer`	When Urlbox takes a `full_page` screenshot, the maximum height of each image section is set to 4096 pixels. If a sites height is greater than this value, Urlbox will start splitting the screenshot into sections. Sometimes it is worthwhile experimenting with this number. Default is `4096`.
Scroll Increment	`scrollIncrement`	`string`	Sets how many pixels to scroll when scrolling the page to trigger lazy loading elements. By default, the scroll increment is set to the browser viewport height. Some pages' lazy loading elements only trigger when the scroll increment is smaller than this, however, e.g. 400px.
Scroll Delay	`scrollDelay`	`string`	When Urlbox decides to split a screenshot into multiple sections, the scroll delay is the time to wait between taking the screenshots of each individual section, in milliseconds. While Urlbox does detect animations, and attempts to wait for them before taking a screenshot, this option could be used to force Urlbox to wait for a certain amount of time after scrolling to the next section, to wait for things like animations to finish.
Turbo	`turbo`	`string`	Warning This is an experimental option. Used to speed up full page screenshots, but at the expense of accuracy.
Highlight	`highlight`	`string`	Word to highlight on the page before capturing a screenshot.
Highlight Fg	`highlightfg`	`string`	Text color of the highlighted word. Default is `white`.
Highlight Bg	`highlightbg`	`string`	Background color of the highlighted word. Default is `red`.
Latitude	`latitude`	`string`	Sets the latitude used to emulate the Geolocation API.
Longitude	`longitude`	`string`	Sets the longitude used to emulate the Geolocation API.
Accuracy	`accuracy`	`string`	Sets the accurate of the Geolocation API, in metres.
Use S3	`useS3`	`boolean`	Save the screenshot directly to the S3 bucket configured on your account.
S3 Path	`s3Path`	`string`	Sets the S3 path, including subdirectories and the filename, to use when saving the screenshot in your S3 bucket. The extension (.png, .jpg or .pdf) will be provided automatically, and should not be included in s3_path.
S3 Bucket	`s3Bucket`	`string`	Overrides the configured S3 bucket to use when saving the screenshot.
S3 Storage Class	`s3StorageClass`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`standardstandard_iareduced_redundancyonezone_iaintelligent_tieringglacierdeep_archiveoutposts`
Fail If Selector Missing	`failIfSelectorMissing`	`boolean`	Fails the request if the elements specified by `selector` or `wait_for` options are not found on the page after waiting for `wait_timeout`.
Fail If Selector Present	`failIfSelectorPresent`	`boolean`	Fails the request if the element specified by `wait_to_leave` option is found on the page after waiting for `wait_timeout`.
Fail On 4XX	`failOn4xx`	`boolean`	If `fail_on_4xx=true` and the requested URL returns a status code between 400 and 499, Urlbox will fail the request with error code 400 and the message: `Failed to render. Requested URL returned a 4xx error code and fail_on_4xx was true`.
Fail On 5XX	`failOn5xx`	`boolean`	If `fail_on_5xx=true` and the requested URL returns a status code between 500 and 599, Urlbox will fail the request with error code 400 and message: `Failed to render. Requested URL returned a 5xx error code and fail_on_5xx was true`.
