Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

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.
Identifier Column	`identifierColumn`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Timestamp Column	`timestampColumn`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

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.

Pushbullet Overview#

Pushbullet acts as a bridge, connecting your devices with push notifications and file sharing capabilities. By leveraging the Pushbullet API on Pipedream, you can automate notifications for a host of events, enabling real-time alerts on your phone, browser, or desktop. Whether you're monitoring server uptimes, tracking sales, or simply staying on top of to-do lists, integrating Pushbullet with other services via Pipedream workflows can streamline your notification management and data sharing tasks.

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
Pushbullet	`pushbullet`	`app`	This component uses the Pushbullet app.
Device	`device`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Email	`email`	`string`	Send the push to this email address. If that email address is associated with a Pushbullet user, we will send it directly to that user, otherwise we will fallback to sending an email to the email address (this will also happen if a user exists but has no devices registered).
Channel Tag	`channel_tag`	`string`	Send the push to all subscribers to your channel that has this tag.
Push Type	`type`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`notelinkfile`

Action Authentication#

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

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