PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
SQL Query	`query`	`string`	Specify the query to select new or updated rows since the last poll. For example, `SELECT * FROM users WHERE country = 'US'`
Values	`values`	`string[]`	List of values represented in your SQL Query above

Trigger Authentication#

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

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications

About PostgreSQL#

PostgreSQL is a free and open-source relational database management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.

Hootsuite Overview#

The Hootsuite API offers a variety of endpoints to automate social media management tasks such as scheduling posts, managing social content, and analyzing social media performance. By leveraging Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows to interact with the Hootsuite API; you can schedule posts at optimal times, aggregate metrics for reporting, or even respond to social media activity in real-time. Pipedream's platform allows the seamless integration of the Hootsuite API with hundreds of other apps to streamline social media workflows, monitor brand presence, and engage with audiences effectively.

Action Authentication#

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

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