ServiceM8 Overview#

The ServiceM8 API allows businesses to streamline their field service management by automating tasks and integrating with other tools. Through Pipedream, you can harness this API to create custom workflows that trigger actions within ServiceM8 or sync data with other apps. Automate job scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, and more by reacting to events in real-time. Enhance productivity by connecting ServiceM8 to CRMs, accounting software, or custom databases, ensuring consistent and updated information across platforms.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Client (Instant)",
  key: "servicem8-new-client",
  description: "Emit new event when a new client is created.",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getMeta({ entry }) {
      if (entry) {
        const {
          uuid, time,
        } = entry[0];

        const eventTime = time || new Date().getTime();

        return {
          id: uuid,
          summary: `New client created with uuid: ${uuid}`,
          ts: eventTime,
        };
      }
    },
    getParams() {
      return {
        object: "Company",
        fields: "uuid",
      };
    },
  },
};

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
ServiceM8	`servicem8`	`app`	This component uses the ServiceM8 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.

Trigger Authentication#

ServiceM8 uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your ServiceM8 account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into ServiceM8 and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any ServiceM8 API.

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