New Action Created on Pushcut

Description:Emit new event when a new action is created.

Version:0.0.1

Key:pushcut-action-created

View on GitHub

Pushcut Overview#

The Pushcut API enables the automation of iOS notifications with custom actions, triggering events based on various conditions. On Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create intricate workflows, combining Pushcut notifications with a multitude of services to act based on data from APIs, schedules, or other apps. Think of Pushcut as a bridge between the real world and your digital tasks, letting you know when to act and offering shortcuts to execute specific automations directly from your iOS devices.

Trigger Code#

import pushcut from "../../pushcut.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  key: "pushcut-action-created",
  name: "New Action Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new action is created.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    pushcut,
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      default: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
    actionType: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Type",
      description: "Type of new action to watch for",
      options: [
        "shortcut",
        "homekit",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    generateMeta(action) {
      return {
        id: action.id,
        summary: `${action.id}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const actions = this.actionType === "shortcut"
      ? await this.pushcut.listShortcuts()
      : await this.pushcut.listHomekitScenes();
    for (const action of actions) {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(action);
      this.$emit(action, meta);
    }
  },
};

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.

Pushcut	`pushcut`	`app`	This component uses the Pushcut app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Type	`actionType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`shortcuthomekit`

Trigger Authentication#

Create Single Record Or Update on Airtable

Description:Updates a record if `recordId` is provided or adds a record to a table.

Version:0.0.7

View on GitHub

Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Action Code#

import airtable from "../../airtable_oauth.app.mjs";
import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import commonActions from "../../common/actions.mjs";

export default {
  key: "airtable_oauth-create-or-update-record",
  name: "Create Single Record Or Update",
  description: "Updates a record if `recordId` is provided or adds a record to a table.",
  version: "0.0.7",

    tableId: {
      ...common.props.tableId,

        airtable,
        "recordId",
        ({
          baseId, tableId,
        }) => ({
          baseId: baseId.value,
          tableId: tableId.value,
        }),
      ],
      optional: true,
      description: "Enter a [record ID](https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051564873-Record-ID) if you want to update an existing record. Leave blank to create a new record.",

    },
    returnFieldsByFieldId: {
      propDefinition: [

  async additionalProps() {
    return commonActions.additionalProps(this);
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const recordId = this.recordId ?? undefined;
    if (!recordId) {
      return commonActions.createRecord(this, $);
    } else {
      return commonActions.updateRecord(this, $);
    }
  },
};

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Record ID	`recordId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Typecast	`typecast`	`boolean`	The Airtable API will perform best-effort automatic data conversion from string values if the typecast parameter is `True`. Automatic conversion is disabled by default to ensure data integrity, but it may be helpful for integrating with 3rd party data sources.
Return Fields By Field ID	`returnFieldsByFieldId`	`boolean`	An optional boolean value that lets you return field objects where the key is the field id. This defaults to `false`, which returns field objects where the key is the field name.

Action Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read
