Build internal tools, remarkably fast.
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
Retool is a platform that makes it faster to build internal tools with a drag-and-drop interface. The Retool API allows you to programmatically manage various aspects of your Retool applications, such as triggering queries, updating apps, or retrieving data from your custom tools. In Pipedream, you can utilize this API to automate workflows between Retool and other apps, creating powerful integrations that streamline your internal processes.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
retool: {
type: "app",
app: "retool",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.retool.com/api/v1/resources`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.retool.$auth.access_token}`,
"Accept": `application/json`,
},
})
},
})
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json
file or running npm install
.
Below is an example of installing the axios
package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios
package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
