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.

Timing Overview#

The Timing app provides detailed time tracking capabilities, enabling users to automatically log time spent on various tasks and improve productivity. Using Pipedream’s integration, one could build workflows that trigger when new time entries are created, sync time data with other project management tools, or compile reports for invoicing and accountability. It's all about harnessing the power of automated time tracking to streamline processes.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "timing-new-project",
  name: "New Project Created",
  description: "Emit new event each time a new project is created",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    generateMeta(project) {
      return {
        id: project.self,
        summary: `New Project: ${project.title}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const { data } = await this.timing.listProjects();
    for (const project of data) {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(project);
      this.$emit(project, meta);
    }
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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

Trigger Authentication#

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

SmugMug Overview#

The SmugMug API provides programmatic access to a user's SmugMug account, allowing them to manage photos, albums, and account settings. With Pipedream, you can automate tasks such as uploading new images, synchronizing photo galleries with other platforms, or triggering actions based on account activity. The API's capabilities paired with Pipedream's serverless platform enable you to craft custom workflows that react to events in SmugMug or orchestrate tasks across multiple apps.

Action Code#

import { getFileStreamAndMetadata } from "@pipedream/platform";
import FormData from "form-data";

Action Authentication#

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

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