Writer ACTION

Get Application

Get a single no-code application (agent) by its application id, including its input schema — the inputs array, where each entry's id is an input field name that Run Application must supply a value for (it is NOT the application's id). Use List Applications first to find the application's id, then call this before Run Application so you know the input field ids (names) the agent expects. Example: call with applicationId="3f9c..." -> returns { id, name, type, status, inputs: [{ id, name, ... }], created_at, updated_at }, where each inputs[].id is an input field name such as "topic".

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Writer account once, then configure and run Get Application from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "writer-get-application",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    writer: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    applicationId: "Application ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
