is it possible to connect to a different sheets file where the filename is based on a value submitted via webhook?

Yes, it’s possible to connect to a different Google Sheets file based on a value submitted via a webhook. You can achieve this by using an HTTP trigger to receive the webhook and then using the Google Sheets API to interact with the desired file. Here’s an example of a Pipedream component that demonstrates this: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Get the filename from the webhook payload const filename = steps.trigger.event.filename; // Use the Google Sheets API to search for the file const searchFilesResponse = await axios($, { method: "GET", url: "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files", params: { q: `mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${filename}'`, }, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${auths.google_drive.oauth_access_token}`, }, }); // Check if the file exists and get its ID if (searchFilesResponse.files && searchFilesResponse.files.length > 0) { const fileId = searchFilesResponse.files[0].id; // Perform desired operations on the Google Sheets file using its ID // For example, read or write data to the file } else { console.log(`File with name '${filename}' not found.`); } }, }); In this example, the webhook payload should include a filename property containing the name of the Google Sheets file you want to connect to. The component searches for the file using the Google Sheets API and then performs the desired operations on the file using its ID.

how do i use the component you sent above?

To use the component I provided earlier, follow these steps: 1. Create a new workflow in your Pipedream account. 2. Add a new step to your workflow and select the option to “Run Node.js code”. 3. Copy and paste the component code I provided into the code editor. 4. If the component has any props, you’ll see input fields in the Pipedream UI where you can enter the required values. 5. Save and deploy your workflow. Now, when the workflow is triggered, it will run the component code and perform the desired operations with the Google Sheets file based on the filename received via the webhook. Make sure your webhook payload includes a filename property with the name of the Google Sheets file you want to connect to.

Please correct the component you shared above. Remember that google_sheets must be added as an app prop and auth referenced as this.google_sheets.$auth inside of the component

I apologize for the oversight. Here’s the corrected component code with the Google Sheets app prop and the correct auth reference: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_sheets: { type: "app", app: "google_sheets", }, filename: { type: "string", label: "Filename", description: "The name of the Google Sheets file to connect to", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const filename = this.filename; const searchFilesResponse = await axios($, { method: "GET", url: "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files", params: { q: `mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${filename}'`, }, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, }); if (searchFilesResponse.data.files && searchFilesResponse.data.files.length > 0) { const fileId = searchFilesResponse.data.files[0].id; // Perform desired operations on the Google Sheets file using its ID // For example, read or write data to the file } else { console.log(`File with name '${filename}' not found.`); } }, }); This component now includes the google_sheets app prop and uses this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token for authorization.

how do I add rows to the sheet connected using the code above?

To add rows to the Google Sheets file connected using the code above, you can use the Google Sheets API to append data to the sheet. Here’s the updated component code with the functionality to add rows: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_sheets: { type: "app", app: "google_sheets", }, filename: { type: "string", label: "Filename", description: "The name of the Google Sheets file to connect to", }, rowData: { type: "string[]", label: "Row Data", description: "The data to be added as a new row in the Google Sheets file", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const filename = this.filename; const searchFilesResponse = await axios($, { method: "GET", url: "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files", params: { q: `mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${filename}'`, }, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, }); if (searchFilesResponse.data.files && searchFilesResponse.data.files.length > 0) { const fileId = searchFilesResponse.data.files[0].id; // Add a new row to the Google Sheets file const appendRowResponse = await axios($, { method: "POST", url: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${fileId}/values/Sheet1!A1:append`, params: { valueInputOption: "RAW", }, data: { values: [this.rowData], }, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, }); console.log("Row added successfully"); } else { console.log(`File with name '${filename}' not found.`); } }, }); This updated component includes a new rowData prop, which accepts an array of strings representing the data to be added as a new row in the Google Sheets file. The component uses the Google Sheets API to append the row data to the sheet. Make sure to replace `Sheet1

doesn’t the code above also read the column headers of the sheet so I can just map them to the data from the webhook?

You’re right, the code I provided earlier doesn’t read the column headers. To read the column headers and map them to the data from the webhook, you can modify the component code like this: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_sheets: { type: “app”, app: “google_sheets”, }, filename: { type: “string”, label: “Filename”, description: “The name of the Google Sheets file to connect to”, }, rowData: { type: “object”, label: “Row Data”, description: “The data from the webhook to be added as a new row in the Google Sheets file”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const filename = this.filename; const searchFilesResponse = await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: “https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files”, params: { q: mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${filename}', }, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); if (searchFilesResponse.data.files && searchFilesResponse.data.files.length > 0) { const fileId = searchFilesResponse.data.files[0].id; // Read the column headers const headersResponse = await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${fileId}/values/Sheet1!1:1, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); const headers = headersResponse.data.values[0]; // Map the column headers to the rowData const newRowData = headers.map((header) => this.rowData[header]); // Add a new row to the Google Sheets file const appendRowResponse = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${fileId}/values/Sheet1!A1:append, params: { valueInputOption: “RAW”, }, data: { values: [newRowData], }, headers: { Authorization

can you please re-send the last code you sent

Apologies for the formatting issue in my previous response. Here’s the corrected code to read column headers and map them to the data from the webhook: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_sheets: { type: “app”, app: “google_sheets”, }, filename: { type: “string”, label: “Filename”, description: “The name of the Google Sheets file to connect to”, }, rowData: { type: “object”, label: “Row Data”, description: “The data from the webhook to be added as a new row in the Google Sheets file”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const filename = this.filename; const searchFilesResponse = await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: “https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files”, params: { q: mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${filename}', }, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); if (searchFilesResponse.data.files && searchFilesResponse.data.files.length > 0) { const fileId = searchFilesResponse.data.files[0].id; // Read the column headers const headersResponse = await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${fileId}/values/Sheet1!1:1, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); const headers = headersResponse.data.values[0]; // Map the column headers to the rowData const newRowData = headers.map((header) => this.rowData[header]); // Add a new row to the Google Sheets file const appendRowResponse = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${fileId}/values/Sheet1!A1:append, params: { valueInputOption: “RAW”, }, data: { values: [newRowData], }, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access

please send it with code format. There are errors when i paste it.

Apologies for the formatting issue. Here’s the corrected code: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_sheets: { type: “app”, app: “google_sheets”, }, filename: { type: “string”, label: “Filename”, description: “The name of the Google Sheets file to connect to”, }, rowData: { type: “object”, label: “Row Data”, description: “The data from the webhook to be added as a new row in the Google Sheets file”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const filename = this.filename; const searchFilesResponse = await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: “https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files”, params: { q: mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${filename}', }, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); if (searchFilesResponse.data.files && searchFilesResponse.data.files.length > 0) { const fileId = searchFilesResponse.data.files[0].id; // Read the column headers const headersResponse = await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${fileId}/values/Sheet1!1:1, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); const headers = headersResponse.data.values[0]; // Map the column headers to the rowData const newRowData = headers.map((header) => this.rowData[header]); // Add a new row to the Google Sheets file const appendRowResponse = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${fileId}/values/Sheet1!A1:append, params: { valueInputOption: “RAW”, }, data: { values: [newRowData], }, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_sheets.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, }); } }, });

please give me code that split value from webhook with a “-” separator

Here’s a Pipedream component that splits a value from a webhook using a “-” separator: export default defineComponent({ props: { webhookData: { type: "string", label: "Webhook Data", description: "The data from the webhook to be split using a '-' separator", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const splitData = this.webhookData.split("-"); return splitData; }, }); Replace webhookData with the actual data you receive from the webhook, and this component will split the data using the “-” separator and return the resulting array.

please update the code to have the webhook path steps.trigger.event.body.campaign_name

Here’s the updated Pipedream component code that splits the campaign_name value from the webhook using a “-” separator: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const campaignName = steps.trigger.event.body.campaign_name; const splitData = campaignName.split("-"); return splitData; }, }); This code assumes that the webhook data is available at steps.trigger.event.body.campaign_name. The component will split the campaign_name value using the “-” separator and return the resulting array.
