How can i easily get yesterdays date in the steps?
To get yesterday’s date in a Pipedream workflow step, you can use JavaScript’s Date object to manipulate and format dates. Here’s a simple example of how you can do this in a Node.js code step: export default defineComponent({ async run({steps, $}) { const today = new Date(); const yesterday = new Date(today); yesterday.setDate(yesterday.getDate() - 1); // Format yesterday's date as YYYY-MM-DD const formattedDate = yesterday.toISOString().split('T')[0]; return formattedDate; }, }); This code creates a new Date object for today, then subtracts one day to get yesterday’s date. It then formats yesterday’s date as “YYYY-MM-DD” and returns it. You can adjust the date formatting to meet your specific needs.
If i want to do a POST request to a woocommerce shop to get all orders from a specific date, how should i formate the “body” in the call?
To perform a POST request to a WooCommerce shop to retrieve all orders from a specific date, you would typically use a GET request instead of POST for fetching data. However, the approach to filter orders by a specific date involves using query parameters in the URL, rather than the body of the request. Here’s how you can format your request to filter orders by a specific date: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { woocommerce: { type: "app", app: "woocommerce", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const specificDate = "2023-01-01"; // Example date return await axios($, { url: `https://${this.woocommerce.$auth.url}/wp-json/wc/v3/orders?after=${specificDate}T00:00:00Z`, auth: { username: `${this.woocommerce.$auth.key}`, password: `${this.woocommerce.$auth.secret}`, }, }); }, }); In this example, replace "2023-01-01" with the specific date you’re interested in. The after query parameter is used to filter orders created after the specified date. Please note that the WooCommerce API uses the ISO 8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). Adjust the time part (T00:00:00Z) as needed based on your requirements. Remember, this example assumes you’re using WooCommerce’s REST API v3, as indicated by /wp-json/wc/v3/orders in the URL. Ensure your WooCommerce setup supports this version. If you’re using a different version, adjust the URL accordingly.
So im running this code
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
const today = new Date();
const yesterday = new Date(today);
yesterday.setDate(yesterday.getDate() - 1);
// Format yesterday's date as YYYY-MM-DD
const formattedDate = yesterday.toISOString().split('T')[0];
return formattedDate;
},
});
and i get 2024-02-10
Then i use 2024-02-10 as steps.Today2Yesterday.$return_value
then i use that in this GET call to woocommerce
https://shop.nu/wp-json/wc/v3/orders?after={{steps.Today2Yesterday.$return_value}}
But i get the error below
rest_invalid_param
Invalid parameter: after
Based on the information you’ve provided, it seems like you’re encountering an issue with the after parameter in your WooCommerce API request. The error rest_invalid_param indicates that the format or value of the after parameter is not acceptable by the WooCommerce API. WooCommerce expects dates in the ISO 8601 format, which you’ve correctly formatted as YYYY-MM-DD for the after parameter. However, the WooCommerce API documentation specifies that the after parameter should be used as part of a date filtering query and should be fully qualified in ISO 8601 format, including time. This means you might need to include the time component in your date string as well, even if it’s just the start of the day. Here’s how you can modify your code to include a time component (set to the start of the day, 00:00:00) in the formattedDate: export default defineComponent({ async run({steps, $}) { const today = new Date(); const yesterday = new Date(today); yesterday.setDate(yesterday.getDate() - 1); // Format yesterday's date as YYYY-MM-DD and include time const formattedDate = `${yesterday.toISOString().split('T')[0]}T00:00:00`; return formattedDate; }, }); Then, you should use this formatted date in your WooCommerce API request. Make sure to URL encode the date string when passing it as a query parameter: plaintext https://shop.nu/wp-json/wc/v3/orders?after={{encodeURIComponent(steps.Today2Yesterday.$return_value)}} If you continue to experience issues, it’s also worth double-checking the WooCommerce API documentation or reaching out to their support for more specific guidance on using the after parameter for filtering orders by date.
Can i get an invoice from woocommerce with the GET call? or how can i easily generate a basic invoice in pipedream?
To retrieve or generate an invoice from WooCommerce via a GET call in Pipedream, you would typically need to access a specific endpoint in the WooCommerce API that provides invoice data. However, WooCommerce’s REST API does not directly provide an endpoint for fetching invoices as they are not a default entity within WooCommerce. Invoices are usually generated through third-party plugins or custom implementations. That said, you can generate a basic invoice by retrieving order details from WooCommerce and then formatting those details into an invoice format. Here’s an example of how you might retrieve order details using Pipedream, which you could then use to generate an invoice: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform" export default defineComponent({ props: { woocommerce: { type: "app", app: "woocommerce", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const orderId = 123; // Replace with the ID of the order you want to generate an invoice for return await axios($, { url: `https://${this.woocommerce.$auth.url}/wp-json/wc/v3/orders/${orderId}`, auth: { username: `${this.woocommerce.$auth.key}`, password: `${this.woocommerce.$auth.secret}`, }, }) }, }); This code snippet retrieves details for a specific order by its ID. You would need to replace 123 with the actual ID of the order you’re interested in. The response will contain detailed information about the order, including items purchased, prices, customer details, and more. You can then use this information to format a basic invoice by iterating over the order details and presenting them in your desired format. If you’re looking to automate the generation of a formatted invoice, you might consider using a template engine or a document generation API within a Pipedream workflow. You would extract the necessary order details from the WooCommerce API response and insert them into your invoice template. Remember, this approach requires you to manually handle the formatting and generation of the invoice based on the order details retrieved from WooCommerce. If you’re looking for a more automated solution within WooCommerce itself, you might explore available plugins or extensions that offer invoice generation capabilities directly within WooCommerce.
Can i generate a simple invoice in HTML code within pipedream using the information received trough the GET call?
To generate a simple invoice in HTML code within Pipedream using information received through a GET call, you can follow these steps. This example assumes you’ve already made the GET call and have the data available for generating the invoice. First, ensure you have the data you need from the GET call. This data will be used to populate the invoice. For this example, let’s assume you have the following data structure from your GET call: on { "customerName": "John Doe", "invoiceNumber": "12345", "invoiceDate": "2023-04-01", "items": [ { "description": "Product 1", "quantity": 2, "price": 10.00 }, { "description": "Product 2", "quantity": 1, "price": 15.00 } ], "total": 35.00 } Next, you can use this data to generate an HTML invoice within a Pipedream workflow. Here’s an example of how you might do it in a Node.js code step: ``` export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const data = { customerName: “John Doe”, invoiceNumber: “12345”, invoiceDate: “2023-04-01”, items: [ { description: “Product 1”, quantity: 2, price: 10.00 }, { description: “Product 2”, quantity: 1, price: 15.00 } ], total: 35.00 }; const generateInvoiceHTML = (data) => { let itemsHtml = data.items.map(item => <tr> <td>${item.description}</td> <td>${item.quantity}</td> <td>$${item.price.toFixed(2)}</td> <td>$${(item.quantity * item.price).toFixed(2)}</td> </tr> ).join(“”); return `
Invoice Number: ${data.invoiceNumber}
Date: ${data.invoiceDate}
Customer Name: ${data.customerName}

It looks like the error you’re encountering, “Unterminated template (37:50)”, is due to the incorrect use of template literals and possibly an incomplete code snippet. The error message suggests that a template literal is not properly closed. This can happen if you’re using backticks () to define a template literal and forget to close it, or if there's a syntax error within the template literal itself. From the code snippet you've provided, it seems like the issue might be related to the way you're trying to define a multi-line string using template literals, but the code snippet seems to be cut off or incomplete. However, I noticed a potential issue in your generateInvoiceHTMLfunction where you're using HTML entities like<and>instead of the actual<and>characters. When using template literals, you should use the actual<and>characters for HTML content. Here's a corrected version of thegenerateInvoiceHTMLfunction with the proper use of<and>characters: ``` const generateInvoiceHTML = (data) => { let itemsHtml = data.items.map(item => ${item.description} ${item.quantity} $${item.price.toFixed(2)} $${(item.quantity * item.price).toFixed(2)} ).join(""); return
Invoice Number: ${data.invoiceNumber}
Date: ${data.invoiceDate}
Customer Name: ${data.customerName}
${itemsHtml}im sending a GET request to woocommerce for yesterdays order and geting back a dynamic amount of orders and orderinformation everyday. I then want to generate a easy html invoice in the next step, how do i do this for every order (response) in previous step?
To generate an HTML invoice for every order you receive from a WooCommerce GET request, you can follow these steps within a Pipedream workflow: 1. Fetch Yesterday’s Orders from WooCommerce: Use the WooCommerce API to fetch orders. Since you’re already sending a GET request to retrieve yesterday’s orders, ensure you’re filtering orders by the date created to get only those from the previous day. You can use the WooCommerce component code as a reference for making the API call. import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { woocommerce: { type: "app", app: "woocommerce", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Assuming you have a way to calculate 'yesterday' in the format WooCommerce expects const yesterday = new Date(); yesterday.setDate(yesterday.getDate() - 1); const dateString = yesterday.toISOString().split('T')[0]; return await axios($, { url: `https://${this.woocommerce.$auth.url}/wp-json/wc/v3/orders?after=${dateString}T00:00:00&before=${dateString}T23:59:59`, auth: { username: `${this.woocommerce.$auth.key}`, password: `${this.woocommerce.$auth.secret}`, }, }); }, }); 2. Generate HTML Invoice for Each Order: After fetching the orders, iterate over each order to generate an HTML invoice. You can do this in a loop within a Node.js code step. For simplicity, let’s assume a basic HTML structure for the invoice. You can customize this HTML based on your needs. ``` export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const orders = steps.previous_step_name.data; // Replace ‘previous_step_name’ with the actual step name that fetches the orders const invoices = orders.map(order => { // Generate HTML invoice for each order. Customize this HTML as needed. const htmlInvoice = <html> <body> <h1>Invoice for Order #${order.id}</h1> <p>Date: ${order.date_created}</p> <p>Total: ${order.total}</p> <h2>Items</h2> <ul> ${order.line_items.map(item =>
if i post a Curl to an external service and expect a pdf back, how do i do that call in pipedream?
To make an HTTP POST request to an external service and handle a PDF response in Pipedream, you can use the axios library within a Node.js code step. This example demonstrates how to make a POST request and then stream the PDF response directly to another URL or service. If you need to save the PDF temporarily before sending it to another service, you can save it to the /tmp directory, but remember that files stored there are temporary and have size limits. Here’s how you can structure your code to make the POST request and handle the PDF response: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; import fs from "fs"; import stream from "stream"; import { promisify } from "util"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Replace 'https://external-service.com/api' with the actual URL you're posting to const response = await axios($, { method: "post", url: "https://external-service.com/api", responseType: "stream", }); // The response is a stream. Here we're piping it to a file in the /tmp directory. // Replace 'output.pdf' with your desired file name. const path = `/tmp/output.pdf`; const writer = fs.createWriteStream(path); const pipeline = promisify(stream.pipeline); await pipeline(response.data, writer); // Now that the PDF is saved, you can upload it to another service. // This example streams the file directly to another URL without saving it to disk. // Replace 'https://example2.com' with the URL you're uploading the PDF to. await pipeline( fs.createReadStream(path), [axios.stream.post](http://axios.stream.post)("https://example2.com") ); // Return the path of the saved PDF or any other response you need return { path }; } }); This code does the following: 1. Makes a POST request to an external service that returns a PDF. 2. Streams the PDF response to a file saved in the /tmp directory. 3. Streams the saved PDF file to another service or URL. Remember to replace placeholder URLs and file names with actual values relevant to your use case.

I want to Get the above information from previous step that i get from woocommerce GET call, its always a different amount of orders and i want to iterate all the results
To achieve your goal of generating invoices based on order information retrieved from WooCommerce, you’ll need to create a Pipedream workflow that performs the following steps: 1. Get Order(s) from WooCommerce: Use the WooCommerce “Get Order” action or make an API call to retrieve order details. 2. Iterate Over Orders: Loop through each order to extract the necessary information. 3. Generate Invoices: For each order, make an HTTP POST request to https://invoice-generator.com with the extracted order details to generate an invoice. Below is an example Pipedream component code that demonstrates how to iterate over orders retrieved from WooCommerce and generate invoices for each order. This example assumes you have already retrieved the orders and stored them in a variable called orders. ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { woocommerce: { type: “app”, app: “woocommerce”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Example orders array. Replace this with the actual orders variable const orders = [ { id: 1, customer: “Foster Moen”, items: [ { name: “Starter Plan Monthly”, quantity: 1, unit_cost: 99 } ], total: 99, date: “Feb 9, 2015”, }, // Add more orders as needed ]; // Iterate over each order to generate an invoice for (const order of orders) { const response = await axios($, { method: “POST”, url: “https://invoice-generator.com”, data: { from: “Nikolaus Ltd\nVAT ID: 1234”, to: ${order.customer}\nVAT ID: 4567, // Example, adjust accordingly logo: “https://example.com/img/logo-invoice.png”, number: order.id, date: order.date, payment_terms: “Charged - Do Not Pay”, items: order.items.map(item => ({ name: item.name, quantity: item.quantity, unit_cost: item.unit_cost, })), tax_title: “VAT”, fields: { tax: “%” }, tax: 8, notes: “Thanks for being an awesome customer!”, terms: "No need to

I want to use the code above with previous step that contains daily orders from woocommerce GET call, its always a different amount of orders and i want to iterate all the results to get a PDF for each order. the path to each order is steps.custom_request.$return_value[0].id and so on
To iterate over daily orders from WooCommerce and generate a PDF invoice for each order using the provided curl command, you’ll need to adapt the process to a Pipedream workflow. This involves using the WooCommerce API to fetch orders and then making HTTP POST requests to the invoice generator for each order. First, ensure you have a trigger set up to fetch daily orders from WooCommerce. Then, use a Node.js code step to iterate over these orders and make HTTP requests to the invoice generator. Here’s an example of how you might structure this in a Pipedream workflow: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { woocommerce: { type: "app", app: "woocommerce", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Fetch orders from WooCommerce const orders = await axios($, { url: `https://${this.woocommerce.$auth.url}/wp-json/wc/v2/orders`, auth: { username: `${this.woocommerce.$auth.key}`, password: `${this.woocommerce.$auth.secret}`, }, }); // Iterate over each order and generate an invoice for (const order of orders) { // Extract order details and customize the payload as needed const payload = { from: "Nikolaus Ltd%0AVAT ID: 1234", to: `${order.billing.first_name} ${order.billing.last_name}%0AVAT ID: ${order.billing.company}`, // Add more fields as necessary, customizing each invoice based on the order details }; // Make a POST request to the invoice generator for each order const response = await axios($, { method: "POST", url: "https://invoice-generator.com", data: payload, responseType: "arraybuffer", // Assuming the response is a PDF file }); // Assuming you want to save the PDF somewhere or use it in subsequent steps // You might save it to a cloud storage service, email it, etc. // This part of the code will depend on what you want to do with the generated invoices } }, }); This example assumes you’re familiar with how to extract the necessary details from each WooCommerce order to customize the invoice payload. You’ll need to adjust the payload object within the loop to match
