How do I set a default value for a database field in the Snowflake connector?

To set a default value for a database field in the Snowflake connector, you can use the Insert Single Row action in Pipedream. Here are the steps to do this: 1. Search for the Snowflake app from the step menu: - In your Pipedream workflow, add a new action step. - Search for the “Snowflake” app. 2. Select the Insert Single Row action: - Choose the “Insert Single Row” action from the list of available actions. 3. Connect your Snowflake account: - If you haven’t already connected your Snowflake account, you’ll be prompted to do so. Follow the instructions to authorize Pipedream to access your Snowflake account. 4. Configure the action: - Select a Database: Choose the database where you want to insert the row or pass a string from a previous step. - Select a Schema: Choose the schema or pass a string from a previous step. - Select a Table Name: Choose the table name or pass a string from a previous step. - Set the Default Value: In the fields where you want to set default values, you can enter the default values directly. 5. Test the action: - At the bottom of the step, click “Test” to run the action and test the configuration. Here is an example of how you might configure the Insert Single Row action with default values: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { snowflake: { type: “app”, app: “snowflake”, }, database: { type: “string”, label: “Database”, }, schema: { type: “string”, label: “Schema”, }, table: { type: “string”, label: “Table Name”, }, column1: { type: “string”, label: “Column 1”, default: “default_value1”, }, column2: { type: “string”, label: “Column 2”, default: “default_value2”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const sqlText = ` INSERT INTO ${this.database}.${this.schema}.${this.table} (column1, column2

how would i do this in the ‘construct an object’ section?

To help you with the “construct an object” section, I’ll need a bit more context. Could you please provide more details on what you’re trying to achieve? For example: 1. What kind of object are you trying to construct? 2. Are you working within a specific Pipedream component or workflow? 3. Do you have any specific properties or values you need to include in the object? With this information, I can provide a more accurate and helpful answer.
