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.

Trigger#

New Run Createe on Terraform

Description:Emit new event when a new run is created in Terraform.

Version:0.0.1

Terraform Overview#

The Terraform API allows for the automation of infrastructure as code (IaC) management tasks. With Pipedream, you can orchestrate workflows that interact with Terraform to create, update, or destroy infrastructure programmatically. You can trigger workflows with webhooks, schedule them, or run them in response to events from other services. By integrating Terraform with Pipedream, you can streamline your DevOps processes, enforce compliance, and manage infrastructure changes with ease.

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
Terraform	`terraform`	`app`	This component uses the Terraform app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Organization	`orgId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Workspace	`workspaceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Terraform#

Terraform Cloud enables infrastructure automation for provisioning, compliance, and management of any cloud, datacenter, and service.

GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.

Action Code#

import github from "../../github.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "github-create-issue-comment",
  name: "Create Issue Comment",
  description: "Create a new comment in a issue. [See the documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/issues/comments#create-an-issue-comment)",

        "repoFullname",
      ],
    },
    issueNumber: {
      label: "Issue Number",
      description: "The number that identifies the issue.",
      type: "integer",
      propDefinition: [
        github,
        "issueNumber",
        (c) => ({

      issueNumber: this.issueNumber,
      data: {
        body: this.body,
      },
    });

    $.export("$summary", "Successfully commented in the issue.");

    return response;
  },
};

Action Authentication#

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

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