IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Teachable account once, then configure and run Update Student from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "teachable-update-student",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
teachable: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
studentId: "Student",
name: "Name",
},
})

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
studentId Student | string | Identifier of a student Required Dynamic |
name Name | string | Name of the student Optional |
src SRC | string | The signup source of the user, Information tab of the user profile. SRC can also be used as a custom value when creating users in your school. For example, if you use any unique identifiers to help manage your users in multiple external systems (such as unique IDs, tags, etc.), you can use the src field to keep this identifier associated with your user in Teachable. Optional |
