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 Event (Instant) on Updown.io

Description:Emit new event when a new webhook event occurs. [See the documentation](https://updown.io/api#webhooks)

Version:0.0.1

Updown.io Overview#

The Updown.io API allows you to interact programmatically with your website monitoring service. With this API, you can automate uptime checks, retrieve the status of your websites, manage checks, receive downtime alerts, and gather performance metrics. Integrating the Updown.io API with Pipedream enables you to create automated workflows that can respond to events, monitor services continuously, and connect with other apps to trigger actions based on the health and performance of your websites.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "updown_io-new-event-instant",
  name: "New Event (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a new webhook event occurs. [See the documentation](https://updown.io/api#webhooks)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    eventTypes: {
      type: "string[]",
      label: "Event Types",
      description: "Filter the incoming events by event type",
      options: events,
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEventTypes() {
      return this.eventTypes;
    },
  },
};

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
Updown.io	`updown`	`app`	This component uses the Updown.io app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "value": "check.down", "label": "When a check goes down (after confirmation)" }{ "value": "check.up", "label": "When a check is back up (recovery following a check.down event)" }{ "value": "check.ssl_invalid", "label": "When the SSL certificate is considered invalid" }{ "value": "check.ssl_valid", "label": "When the SSL certificate is valid again (recovery after a check.ssl_invalid event)" }{ "value": "check.ssl_expiration", "label": "When your SSL certificate approaches expiration date (1, 7, 14, and 30 days before for 1y certs)" }{ "value": "check.ssl_renewed", "label": "When the SSL certificate was renewed close to expiration (recovery for check.ssl_expiration)" }{ "value": "check.performance_drop", "label": "When the Apex drops more than 30% below the lowest of the last 5 hours" }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API keys,

Navigate to your Updown.io account and sign in
Go to “Settings” > “API”

About Updown.io#

updown.io is a HTTP(S)/TCP/ICMP monitoring service which checks periodically the URL you want and reports back any anomaly, be it downtime, bad response, degraded performance or even broken SSL certificate.

Action#

Create Column on Google Sheets

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Action Authentication#

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

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