Integrate the Pusher API with the Data Stores API

The Pusher API offers real-time communication capabilities for apps, enabling instant data delivery. With Pipedream, you can harness these features to create dynamic, real-time workflows that react to events, update clients immediately, and synchronize data across users and systems. It's perfect for powering live dashboards, instant notifications, chat applications, and any scenario where you need to push updates quickly and efficiently. Pipedream's serverless platform empowers you to build and run workflows that leverage Pusher's APIs without managing any infrastructure.

Connect Pusher#

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    pusher: {
      type: "app",
      app: "pusher",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const Pusher = require('pusher')
    
    const { appId, key, secret, cluster } = this.pusher.$auth
    const pusher = new Pusher({
      appId,
      key,
      secret,
      cluster,
      useTLS: true
    })
    
    await pusher.trigger('my-channel', 'my-event', {
      "message": "hello world"
    })
  },
})

Overview of Data Stores#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.

    await this.myDataStore.set("key_here","Any serializable JSON as the value")
    return await this.myDataStore.get("key_here")
