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.

Square Overview#

The Square API opens up a realm of possibilities for merchants to effortlessly manage their sales, inventory, customers, and payments. With Pipedream, you can automate actions based on events in Square, such as new transactions, updated orders, or customer profile changes. Craft custom workflows that react in real-time, sync data across platforms, or streamline reporting. Through Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect Square with countless other apps without writing extensive code, turning manual tasks into automated, efficient processes.

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
Square	`square`	`app`	This component uses the Square app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

CUSTOMERS_READCUSTOMERS_WRITEPAYMENTS_READPAYMENTS_WRITEORDERS_READORDERS_WRITESUBSCRIPTIONS_READSUBSCRIPTIONS_WRITEITEMS_READITEMS_WRITEINVOICES_READINVOICES_WRITELOYALTY_READLOYALTY_WRITEEMPLOYEES_READEMPLOYEES_WRITEMERCHANT_PROFILE_READBANK_ACCOUNTS_READSETTLEMENTS_READDEVELOPER_APPLICATION_WEBHOOKS_WRITEAPPOINTMENTS_ALL_READAPPOINTMENTS_READ

Action#

Send PUT Request on HTTP / Webhook

Description:Send an HTTP PUT request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.

Version:1.1.1

Key:http-put-request

View on GitHub

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

Action Code#

import customRequest from "../custom-request/custom-request.mjs";

export default {
  ...customRequest,
  key: "http-put-request",
  name: "Send PUT Request",
  description: "Send an HTTP PUT request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.",
  type: "action",
  version: "1.1.1",
  props: {
    ...customRequest.props,

      ...customRequest.props.httpRequest,
      default: {
        method: "PUT",
      },
    },
  },
};

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.

HTTP / Webhook	`http`	`app`	This component uses the HTTP / Webhook app.
HTTP Request Configuration	`httpRequest`	`http_request`
Include Response Headers	`includeHeaders`	`boolean`	Optionally export the full response headers
