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 Project on Tick

Description:Emit new event on each created project.

Version:0.0.2

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 Project",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "tick-new-project",
  description: "Emit new event on each created project.",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceMethod() {
      return this.tick.getProjects;
    },
    emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.id,
        summary: `New project 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.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

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.

Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "airtable_oauth-create-field",
  name: "Create Field",
  description: "Create a new field in a table. [See the documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-field)",
  version: "0.0.6",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    field: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Field",
      description: "A JSON object representing the field. Refer to [field types](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/model/field-type) for supported field types, the write format for field options, and other specifics for certain field types.",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const field = typeof this.field === "object"
      ? this.field
      : JSON.parse(this.field);
    const data = {
      ...field,
    };
    const response = await this.airtable.createField({
      baseId: this.baseId.value,
      tableId: this.tableId.value,
      data,
      $,
    });

    if (response) {
      $.export("$summary", `Successfully created field with ID ${response.id}.`);
    }

    return response;
  },
};

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read
