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.

Yelp Overview#

The Yelp API provides access to rich data on local businesses across various categories, including restaurants, bars, and service providers. Leveraging Yelp's API on Pipedream allows you to automate the retrieval of business information, ratings, and customer reviews, which can be instrumental in making data-driven decisions for market analysis, customer insights, or even personal use. By stitching the Yelp API into Pipedream workflows, you unlock potential for real-time monitoring, data collection, and cross-application synergy, enhancing your business intelligence and operational efficiency.
