MongoDB API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the MongoDB API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.
import mongodb from 'mongodb'
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mongodb: {
type: "app",
app: "mongodb",
},
collection: {
type: "string"
},
filter: {
type: "object"
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient
const {
database,
hostname,
username,
password,
} = this.mongodb.$auth
const url = `mongodb+srv://${username}:${password}@${hostname}/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority`
const client = await MongoClient.connect(url, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true
})
const db = client.db(database)
const results = await db.collection(this.collection).find(this.filter).toArray();
$.export('results', results);
await client.close()
},

Example Use Cases#
Real-time Data Syncing with Google Sheets: Sync new MongoDB document entries to a Google Sheet for easy sharing and reporting. Whenever a new customer is added to the MongoDB database, a Pipedream workflow triggers and appends the customer data to a Google Sheet, keeping your sales team updated in real-time.
Automated Backup Notifications via Email: Set up a daily database backup and use Pipedream to monitor the completion status of the backup operation. Once a backup is successfully completed, trigger an SMTP action to send an email notification to the system admin, ensuring peace of mind with regular backup status updates.
Slack Alerts for High-Value Transactions: Monitor your MongoDB for transactions exceeding a certain value and send alerts to a Slack channel when such transactions occur. Finance teams can stay on top of significant movements without manual database checks, improving response time and financial oversight.
Popular MongoDB Actions#

Authentication#
MongoDB uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MongoDB account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MongoDB APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Before you connect to your Mongo database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is accessible from the public internet. You may need to add a firewall rule allowing connections from 0.0.0.0/0.
Then, enter the details of your Mongo host / database below.
