Pipedream Overview#

Pipedream is an API that allows you to build applications that can connect to
various data sources and processes them in real-time. You can use Pipedream to
create applications that can perform ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) tasks,
as well as to create data-driven workflows.

Some examples of applications you can build using the Pipedream API include:

An application that can extract data from a database, transform it, and then
load it into another database.
An application that can monitor a data source for changes, and then trigger a
workflow in response to those changes.
An application that can poll an API for new data, and then process that data
in real-time.

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
Pipedream	`pipedream`	`app`	This component uses the Pipedream app.
Pipedream	`trello`	`app`	This component uses the Pipedream 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.
Board	`board`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Time Before	`timeBefore`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`5 minutes10 minutes15 minutes30 minutes1 hour2 hours3 hours6 hours12 hours1 day2 days3 days1 week`

Xata Overview#

The Xata API offers a serverless, scalable database service that supports building and deploying data-driven applications with ease. With its API-first approach, developers can perform CRUD operations on their databases, manage schemas, and leverage powerful search capabilities. In Pipedream, you can harness the Xata API to automate database operations, sync data across various platforms, and trigger workflows based on database events.
