please give me a code to connect to a different sheets file where the filename is based on a value submitted via webhook. Remember that google_sheets must be added as an app prop and auth referenced as this.google_sheets.$auth inside of the component. Also make it so that I can add the sheet name
To connect to a Google Sheets file based on a value submitted via webhook and add a sheet name, you can use the following code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_sheets: { type: "app", app: "google_sheets", }, sheetName: { type: "string", label: "Sheet Name", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const fileName = steps.trigger.event.fileName; const sheetName = this.sheetName; const searchFilesResponse = await axios(this.google_sheets.$auth, { method: "GET", url: "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files", params: { q: `mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${fileName}'`, fields: "files(id, name)", }, }); if (searchFilesResponse.length === 0) { console.log(`No file found with the name: ${fileName}`); return; } const spreadsheetId = searchFilesResponse[0].id; const addSheetResponse = await axios(this.google_sheets.$auth, { method: "POST", url: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${spreadsheetId}/sheets`, data: { requests: [ { addSheet: { properties: { title: sheetName, }, }, }, ], }, }); return addSheetResponse; }, }); This code will search for the Google Sheets file with the specified file name from the webhook and add a new sheet with the provided sheet name. Make sure to replace steps.trigger.event.fileName with the correct path to the file name from the webhook event.
please modify so I can pass a variable as the spreadsheet name too
Sure, here’s the modified code that allows you to pass a variable for both the spreadsheet name and sheet name: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_sheets: { type: "app", app: "google_sheets", }, spreadsheetName: { type: "string", label: "Spreadsheet Name", }, sheetName: { type: "string", label: "Sheet Name", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const fileName = this.spreadsheetName; const sheetName = this.sheetName; const searchFilesResponse = await axios(this.google_sheets.$auth, { method: "GET", url: "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files", params: { q: `mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${fileName}'`, fields: "files(id, name)", }, }); if (searchFilesResponse.data.files.length === 0) { console.log(`No file found with the name: ${fileName}`); return; } const spreadsheetId = searchFilesResponse.data.files[0].id; const addSheetResponse = await axios(this.google_sheets.$auth, { method: "POST", url: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${spreadsheetId}:batchUpdate`, data: { requests: [ { addSheet: { properties: { title: sheetName, }, }, }, ], }, }); return addSheetResponse.data; }, }); This code allows you to pass the spreadsheet name and sheet name as variables using the spreadsheetName and sheetName props.
what does this error mean {“error”:{“code”:403,“message”:“The request is missing a valid API key.”,“errors”:[{“message”:“The request is missing a valid API key.”,“domain”:“global”,“reason”:“forbidden”}],“status”:“PERMISSION_DENIED”}}
This error indicates that the API request you made is missing a valid API key. The error message shows a 403 status code, which means “Forbidden”. This usually happens when the API key is not provided, is incorrect, or does not have the required permissions. To resolve this issue, make sure you’re using the correct API key and that it has the necessary permissions for the API endpoint you’re trying to access. If you’re using a Pipedream component with an OAuth app (like Google Sheets), ensure that you’ve properly set up the authentication and are using the access token correctly.
the code you gave me above is returning this error even though the Spreadsheet name is correct.
I apologize for the confusion. Let’s try to resolve the issue. Can you please provide more information about the error message you’re encountering? This will help me better understand the problem and suggest a solution.
i think the spreadsheet name is parsed differently when added through a variable
I apologize for the confusion earlier. I’ve reviewed the code and made a slight modification to ensure the spreadsheet name is parsed correctly when passed as a variable. Here’s the updated code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_sheets: { type: "app", app: "google_sheets", }, spreadsheetName: { type: "string", label: "Spreadsheet Name", }, sheetName: { type: "string", label: "Sheet Name", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const fileName = this.spreadsheetName; const sheetName = this.sheetName; const searchFilesResponse = await axios(this.google_sheets.$auth, { method: "GET", url: "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files", params: { q: `mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet' and name='${encodeURIComponent(fileName)}'`, fields: "files(id, name)", }, }); if (searchFilesResponse.data.files.length === 0) { console.log(`No file found with the name: ${fileName}`); return; } const spreadsheetId = searchFilesResponse.data.files[0].id; const addSheetResponse = await axios(this.google_sheets.$auth, { method: "POST", url: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${spreadsheetId}:batchUpdate`, data: { requests: [ { addSheet: { properties: { title: sheetName, }, }, }, ], }, }); return addSheetResponse.data; }, }); I’ve updated the query parameter in the searchFilesResponse to use encodeURIComponent(fileName) instead of just fileName. This should ensure the spreadsheet name is parsed correctly when passed as a variable. Please try this updated code and let me know if it resolves the issue.
let me rephrase, when selecting a spreadsheet name in the built-in add single row function, i see an API key for each spreadsheet name. How do I get the api key based on the spreadsheet name?
I see what you’re asking now. In the built-in “Add Single Row” action for Google Sheets, you’re seeing an API key for each spreadsheet. However, these API keys are internal to Pipedream and not meant to be used directly in your code. Instead, you should use the Google Sheets app provided by Pipedream to interact with the Google Sheets API. You can search for the “Google Sheets” app in the Pipedream UI and use the available actions, like “Add Single Row”, “Get Sheet”, and more. These actions handle the authentication and API key management for you. If you need to perform an operation that’s not available as a pre-built action, you can use the Google Sheets API directly in a code step using the axios library and the OAuth credentials provided by the Google Sheets app. Let me know if you need help with that, and I can guide you through the process.
ok. How do I choose the spreadsheet name and append the corresponding API key using the value of a variable taken from a previous step?
To choose the spreadsheet name and use the corresponding API key based on a variable from a previous step, you can follow these steps in your Pipedream workflow: 1. Use the output from the previous step as the input for the Google Sheets action. You can access the output of the previous step using steps.<step_name>.<output_name>. 2. Search for the “Google Sheets” app in the Pipedream UI and add the “Add Single Row” action to your workflow. 3. In the “Add Single Row” action, you’ll see a dropdown for selecting the spreadsheet. Click on the “Use Variable” option and enter the variable from the previous step that contains the spreadsheet name. 4. The “Add Single Row” action will automatically handle the authentication and API key management for you, so you don’t need to append the API key manually. Here’s an example of how you can set up the workflow: 1. Let’s say you have a previous step named get_spreadsheet_name that outputs the spreadsheet name as spreadsheet_name. 2. Add the “Google Sheets - Add Single Row” action to your workflow. 3. In the “Spreadsheet” field of the “Add Single Row” action, click on “Use Variable” and enter steps.get_spreadsheet_name.spreadsheet_name. 4. Fill in the other required fields like “Sheet” and “Row Data” as needed. 5. Save and run your workflow. The “Add Single Row” action will use the selected spreadsheet name and handle the API key automatically. Remember that you can always refer to the Google Sheets app documentation at https://pipedream.com/apps/google_sheets for more information on using the available actions.
basically what I need to do is use the value of a variable as the Spreadsheet name. I’m currently able to add the correct spreadsheet name however the API key is not there.
I understand that you want to use a variable as the spreadsheet name and add a row to it. In Pipedream, you don’t need to worry about the API key when using the built-in Google Sheets actions, as they handle authentication and API key management for you. Here’s an example of how you can set up a workflow using a variable as the spreadsheet name: 1. Let’s say you have a previous step named get_spreadsheet_name that outputs the spreadsheet name as spreadsheet_name. 2. Add the “Google Sheets - Add Single Row” action to your workflow. 3. In the “Spreadsheet” field of the “Add Single Row” action, click on “Use Variable” and enter steps.get_spreadsheet_name.spreadsheet_name. 4. Fill in the other required fields like “Sheet” and “Row Data” as needed. 5. Save and run your workflow. The “Add Single Row” action will use the selected spreadsheet name and handle the API key automatically. If you’re still having issues, please share more details about your workflow, and I’ll be happy to help you further.
please rewrite this code to append “text value” at the end of splitData
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps }) {
const campaignName = steps.trigger.event.body.campaign_name;
const splitData = campaignName.split(“-”);
return splitData;
},
});
I understand that you want to append “text value” to the end of the splitData array. Here’s the modified code: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const campaignName = steps.trigger.event.body.campaign_name; const splitData = campaignName.split("-"); splitData.push("text value"); return splitData; }, }); This code appends “text value” to the splitData array using the push() method and then returns the updated array.
i meant to concatenate the “text value”
Apologies for the confusion. To concatenate “text value” to the last element of the splitData array, you can modify the code like this: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps }) { const campaignName = steps.trigger.event.body.campaign_name; const splitData = campaignName.split("-"); splitData[splitData.length - 1] += "text value"; return splitData; }, }); This code concatenates “text value” to the last element of the splitData array and then returns the updated array.
