New Email Opened on Postmark

Postmark Overview#

The Postmark API enables developers to easily integrate programmatic emailing into their applications. With the API, developers can create, send, and track transactional emails that are designed to enhance user experience and user engagement. The API also provides developers with access to powerful analytics and insights, such as open/click rates, spam complaints, bounces, and unsubscribes.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "postmark-new-email-opened",
  name: "New Email Opened",
  description:
    "Emit new event when an email is opened by a recipient [(See docs here)](https://postmarkapp.com/developer/webhooks/open-tracking-webhook)",
  version: "0.0.4",
  type: "source",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    postFirstOpenOnly: {
      type: "boolean",
      label: "Track first open only",
      description: `If enabled, an event will only be emitted the first time the recipient opens the email.
        \\
        Otherwise, the event will be emitted every time an open occurs.`,
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getWebhookProps() {
      return {
        Triggers: {
          "Open": {
            "Enabled": true,
            "PostFirstOpenOnly": false,
          },
        },
      };
    },
    getSummary(body) {
      return `New email opened! MessageID - ${body.MessageID}`;
    },
  },
};

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
Postmark	`postmark`	`app`	This component uses the Postmark app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Track first open only	`postFirstOpenOnly`	`boolean`	If enabled, an event will only be emitted the first time the recipient opens the email. Otherwise, the event will be emitted every time an open occurs.

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Postmark#

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Action Code#

import mysql from "../../mysql.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "mysql-execute-query",
  name: "Execute Query",
  description: "Find row(s) via a custom query. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html)",
  type: "action",
  version: "2.0.5",
  props: {
    mysql,
    table: {
      description: "The table where the query will be executed",
      propDefinition: [
        mysql,
        "table",
      ],
    },
    condition: {
      propDefinition: [
        mysql,
        "whereCondition",
      ],
    },
    values: {
      propDefinition: [
        mysql,
        "whereValues",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      table,
      condition,
      values,
    } = this;

    const numberOfQuestionMarks = condition?.match(/\?/g)?.length;

    if (!numberOfQuestionMarks) {
      throw new Error("No valid condition provided. At least one question mark character ? must be provided.");
    }

    if (!Array.isArray(values)) {
      throw new Error("No valid values provided. The values property must be an array.");
    }

    if (values.length !== numberOfQuestionMarks) {
      throw new Error("The number of values provided does not match the number of question marks ? in the condition.");
    }

    const result = await this.mysql.findRows({
      table,
      condition,
      values,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully found ${result.length} row(s) from table ${table}`);

    return result;
  },
};

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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Where condition	`condition`	`string`	In this expression you can write your own conditions (eg. `column1 = ? or column2 = ?`). Depending on the number of `?` symbols likewise you need to add the same number of values.
Values	`values`	`string[]`	This is the list of values that will match every `?` symbol in the where expression. If you want to build yourself the values (eg. `{{["string1", "string2"]}}`)

Action Authentication#

MySQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your MySQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to MySQL 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 MySQL 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.
