Trigger#

New Time Entry on Tick

Description:Emit new event on each created time entry.

Version:0.0.3

View on GitHub

Tick Overview#

Tick is a time tracking and project management tool designed to help teams keep track of time spent on various tasks and projects. With the Tick API, you can automate project time entries, generate reports, and sync time data with other tools. Specifically, when you plug the Tick API into Pipedream, you leverage serverless workflows to connect Tick with hundreds of other apps. You can automate time tracking, streamline project updates, and trigger actions based on time entry events.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Time Entry",
  version: "0.0.3",
  key: "tick-new-time-entry",
  description: "Emit new event on each created time entry.",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceMethod() {
      return this.tick.getTimeEntries;
    },
    emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.id,
        summary: `New time entry created with id ${data.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.created_at),
      });
    },
  },
};

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
Tick	`tick`	`app`	This component uses the Tick app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API Token and Subscription ID, sign in to your Tick account and navigate to your Account page, then find the API Information on the right column.
For email, provide an email address for Tick to use in case they need to contact you.

Ahrefs Overview#

Ahrefs API taps into the vast data reserves of Ahrefs, a robust SEO tool, to programmatically access insights into backlink profiles, keyword rankings, and SEO health. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate SEO monitoring, integrate with content management systems, trigger alerts for new or lost backlinks, or gather intelligence for keyword research—all without manual intervention. This unlocks the potential for real-time SEO strategy adjustments and the integration of SEO data into broader business processes or analytics platforms.
