Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

New Row on Snowflake

Description:Emit new event when a row is added to a table

Version:0.2.2

Key:snowflake-new-row

View on GitHub

Snowflake Overview#

Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.

Getting Started

1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake

Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.

We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.

2. Enter those details in Pipedream

Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.

You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.

3. Build your first workflow

Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common-table-scan.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  type: "source",
  key: "snowflake-new-row",
  name: "New Row",
  description: "Emit new event when a row is added to a table",
  version: "0.2.2",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getStatement(lastResultId) {
      const sqlText = `
        SELECT *
        FROM IDENTIFIER(:1)
        WHERE ${this.uniqueKey} > :2
        ORDER BY ${this.uniqueKey} ASC
      `;
      const binds = [
        this.tableName,
        lastResultId,
      ];
      return {
        sqlText,
        binds,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Snowflake	`snowflake`	`app`	This component uses the Snowflake app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Watch for changes on this schedule
Database	`database`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table Name	`tableName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Unique Key	`uniqueKey`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emit individual events	`emitIndividualEvents`	`boolean`	Defaults to `true`, triggering workflows on each record in the result set. Set to `false` to emit records in batch (advanced)

Trigger Authentication#

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

We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.

Action#

Create Report on Google Ads

Description:Generates a report from your Google Ads data. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v16/overview)

Version:0.1.0

Key:google_ads-create-report

View on GitHub

Google Ads Overview#

The Google Ads API lets you programmatically manage your Google Ads data and
campaigns. You can use the API to automate common tasks, such as:

Creating and managing campaigns
Adding and removing keywords
Adjusting bids

You can also use the API to get information about your campaigns, such as:

Campaign stats
Keyword stats
Ad performance

The Google Ads API is a powerful tool that lets you manage your Google Ads data
and campaigns programmatically. With the API, you can automate common tasks,
such as creating and managing campaigns, adding and removing keywords, and
adjusting bids. You can also use the API to get information about your
campaigns, such as campaign stats, keyword stats, and ad performance.

Customizing API requests with the Pipedream proxy

The Pipedream components interact with Google Ads API through Pipedream's proxy service, which handles authentication and developer token requirements.

The components accept a standard Google Ads API request object with the following structure:

const googleAdsReq = {
  method: "get|post|put|delete",  // HTTP method
  url: "/v16/...",                // Google Ads API endpoint path
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${this.googleAds.$auth.oauth_access_token}`
  },
  data: {}                        // Optional request body for POST/PUT requests
}

To make different API calls while using the proxy:

Modify the url path to match your desired Google Ads API endpoint
Update the method to match the required HTTP method
Add any necessary request body data in the data field
Include any required headers (Authorization is automatically included)

Example for a custom query:

const googleAdsReq = {
  method: "post",
  url: "/v16/customers/1234567890/googleAds:search",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${this.googleAds.$auth.oauth_access_token}`
  },
  data: {
    query: "SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name FROM campaign"
  }
}

The proxy endpoint will remain the same: https://eolid4dq1k0t9hi.m.pipedream.net

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
Google Ads	`googleAds`	`app`	This component uses the Google Ads app.
Use Google Ads As	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Managed Account	`customerClientId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Resource	`resource`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Ad Group", "value": "ad_group" }{ "label": "Ad", "value": "ad_group_ad" }{ "label": "Campaign", "value": "campaign" }{ "label": "Customer", "value": "customer" }`

Action Authentication#

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

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