Paymo Overview#

The Paymo API offers a broad spectrum of project management functionalities, including time tracking, task management, and invoicing. By leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows spanning across these capabilities, such as syncing project updates, streamlining time entries, and managing invoices with other apps. Pipedream's no-code connectors and trigger/action mechanics enable customized integration solutions, making tedious tasks disappear.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "paymo-new-client-created",
  name: "New Client Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new client is created. [See the docs](https://github.com/paymoapp/api/blob/master/sections/webhooks.md#events).",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEventName() {
      return events.CLIENT.INSERT;
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `New Client: ${resource.name}`,
        ts: Date.parse(resource.created_on),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Paymo	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Paymo app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

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

API Keys can be generated from the Paymo application, on the My Account page. See docs.

Using an API Key is similar to Basic Auth, but instead of providing the email/password, you provide the API Key as the username and any text for the password.

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-comment",
  name: "Create Comment",
  description: "Create a new comment on a record. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-comment)",
  version: "0.0.6",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    recordId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.airtable,
        "recordId",
        ({
          baseId, tableId,
        }) => ({
          baseId: baseId.value,
          tableId: tableId.value,
        }),
      ],
    },
    comment: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Comment",
      description: "The text comment",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.airtable.createComment({
      baseId: this.baseId.value,
      tableId: this.tableId.value,
      recordId: this.recordId,
      data: {
        text: this.comment,
      },
      $,
    });

    if (response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully created comment 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.
Record ID	`recordId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Comment	`comment`	`string`	The text comment

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
