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.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event when a row is added or modified. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)
Version:2.0.6
Key:postgresql-new-or-updated-row

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 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.

Action

Description:Remove the background of an image
Version:0.1.1
Key:remove_bg-remove-background

Remove.bg Overview

Remove.bg is a powerful API for automatic image background removal, allowing developers to seamlessly strip backgrounds from images and photos. Integrating Remove.bg in Pipedream workflows enables the creation of automated processes for graphic design, e-commerce product listings, profile picture moderation, and more. The API uses sophisticated AI algorithms to detect and separate foreground elements from their backgrounds, offering a clean and precise cutout that can be used across various applications.
