please give an example on how to add a new row in google sheet
To add a new row to a Google Sheet using Pipedream, you can follow these steps based on the documentation provided. This example assumes you have already connected your Google Sheets account to Pipedream. 1. Create a new workflow in Pipedream if you haven’t already. 2. Add a trigger for your workflow. This could be an HTTP request, a schedule, or any other event in Pipedream. 3. Add a new step to your workflow by clicking the “+” button after your trigger. 4. Select the “Google Sheets” app from the list of apps. 5. Choose the “Add Single Row” action. 6. Connect your Google Sheets account to Pipedream if you haven’t done so already. 7. Select your spreadsheet and the specific sheet within the spreadsheet where you want to add a row. 8. Configure the row data. You’ll need to specify the data for each column in the new row. If your sheet has headers, Pipedream will use them to help you map data to the correct column. Here’s an example of how you might configure the “Add Single Row” action in code, assuming you’ve already set up the Google Sheets app connection: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { return await axios($, { method: "POST", url: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID/values/Sheet1:append?valueInputOption=USER_ENTERED`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, data: { values: [ ["Value for Column A", "Value for Column B", "Value for Column C"], // Add values for each column in the new row ], }, }); }, });
Please replace "YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID"
with your actual spreadsheet ID and adjust the column values as needed. This example uses the Sheets API directly to append a row to the end of the specified sheet (Sheet1
in this case). The valueInputOption=USER_ENTERED
parameter allows the values to be interpreted as if they
Please give an example on how to add a google sheet selection on props under the connected google account
To add a Google Sheet selection to the props in your Pipedream component, allowing users to select a Google Sheet from their connected Google account, you can use dynamic props. Dynamic props can be used to load options dynamically based on the value of other props, such as the connected Google account in this case. Here’s an example of how you might structure your component to include a prop for selecting a Google Sheet: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, sheetId: { type: "string", label: "Sheet", async options({ steps, $ }) { const sheets = await axios($, { url: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, }); return sheets.data.files.map((sheet) => ({ label: sheet.name, value: sheet.id, })); }, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Your code here to interact with the selected Google Sheet }, });
In this example, the sheetId
prop uses an async options
method to dynamically load the list of Google Sheets available to the connected Google account. The axios
request fetches the list of sheets using the Google Sheets API, and the options method maps over the returned sheets to format them as options that can be selected in the Pipedream UI. Please note, the URL used in the axios
request (https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets
) is a placeholder and may need to be adjusted based on the specific API endpoint you’re trying to access. You’ll also want to ensure that the Google Sheets API is enabled for your Google Cloud project and that the necessary OAuth scopes are included in your Pipedream Google app configuration.
how to insert an auto-incremented function like (=D2-E2) in a spreadsheet using google sheet api
To insert an auto-incremented function like =D2-E2
in a Google Sheet using the Google Sheets API, you would typically use the spreadsheets.values.update
method to update a cell with a formula. However, since you’re working within Pipedream, you’ll need to create a custom component that makes an API request to Google Sheets to accomplish this. Below is an example of how you could write a Pipedream component to insert a formula into a specific cell in a Google Sheet. import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const spreadsheetId = 'YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID'; // Replace with your actual spreadsheet ID const range = 'Sheet1!A1'; // Replace with the range where you want to insert the formula const valueInputOption = 'USER_ENTERED'; // Allows us to input formulas among other values const url = `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${spreadsheetId}/values/${range}?valueInputOption=${valueInputOption}`; const data = { range: range, values: [ ["=D2-E2"], // The formula you want to insert ], }; return await axios($, { method: "PUT", url: url, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, data: data, }); }, });
Please replace 'YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID'
with your actual spreadsheet ID and 'Sheet1!A1'
with the cell or range where you want to insert the formula. This component uses the PUT
method to update the value of a cell in your Google Sheet with the formula =D2-E2
. The valueInputOption
parameter is set to 'USER_ENTERED'
to ensure that Google Sheets interprets the input as a formula. Remember, you need to have the Google Sheets API enabled in your Google Cloud project and the appropriate scopes set in your Pipedream Google app configuration to make requests to the Google Sheets API.
get the number of populated rows in a spreadsheet using google sheets api
To get the number of populated rows in a Google Sheets spreadsheet using the Google Sheets API with Pipedream, you can use the following Pipedream component code. This example assumes you want to check a specific sheet within your spreadsheet by its title. You’ll need the spreadsheet ID, which can be found in the spreadsheet’s URL. import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const spreadsheetId = "YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID"; // Replace with your actual spreadsheet ID const sheetTitle = "Sheet1"; // Replace with your actual sheet title const range = `${sheetTitle}!A1:Z`; // Adjust the column range as needed const response = await axios($, { method: "GET", url: `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${spreadsheetId}/values/${range}`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, }); // Assuming the first column (e.g., A) is fully populated and can represent the total rows const numberOfRows = response.values ? response.values.length : 0; return { numberOfRows }; }, });
Make sure to replace "YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID"
with your actual spreadsheet ID and adjust the sheetTitle
and range
as necessary for your specific use case. This code snippet fetches the values from the specified range and calculates the number of populated rows based on the length of the returned values
array. Note that this approach assumes the first column in your specified range is fully populated and can represent the total number of rows accurately. If you need further assistance or have any more questions, feel free to ask!
$.flow.delay is not delaying the step
Based on your question, it seems like you’re encountering an issue with using $.flow.delay
in your Pipedream workflow and it’s not delaying the step as expected. To assist you effectively, let’s ensure that the usage of $.flow.delay
aligns with the documentation and common practices. Here’s a basic example of how to use $.flow.delay
in a Pipedream workflow: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Delay a workflow for 60 seconds (60,000 ms) await $.flow.delay(60 * 1000); } });
A few important points to remember: - Ensure you’re using await
with $.flow.delay
since it returns a Promise. This is crucial for the delay to work properly. - The delay happens at the end of the step where it’s called. - While the workflow is paused due to the delay, it will not incur any credits towards compute time. If you’ve followed these guidelines and the step is still not delaying as expected, there might be an issue with how the delay is implemented in your specific workflow context. Could you provide more details about how you’re using $.flow.delay
in your workflow? This will help in diagnosing the issue more accurately.
I am using it like this: **await** $.flow.delay(60000);
Based on your code snippet, it looks like you’re trying to delay the execution of your Pipedream workflow by 60 seconds (60000 milliseconds). The correct way to use $.flow.delay
in a Pipedream Node.js code step is as follows: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Delay a workflow for 60 seconds (60,000 ms) await $.flow.delay(60 ** 1000); } });
Please note the use of await
before $.flow.delay(60 ** 1000);
. This is necessary because $.flow.delay
returns a Promise, and you need to wait for the delay to complete before moving on to the next step in your workflow. For more detailed control over delays or to explore other ways to implement delays, you can refer to the Pipedream documentation on using $.flow.delay
.
got this in the log: Would have paused until 2024-03-19T12:04:06.338Z
It appears that your workflow encountered a situation where it would have paused execution until a specific future date and time (2024-03-19T12:04:06.338Z
). This message typically indicates that a delay or suspension was programmed into your workflow, possibly using $.flow.delay
or $.flow.suspend
methods, which are designed to pause the workflow execution for a specified duration or until a specified time. However, it’s important to note that if you’re seeing the message “Would have paused until…” without the workflow actually pausing, it might be part of a test run or a specific condition within your workflow that prevents the actual pause from happening. If you intended for your workflow to pause but it did not, or if you have any concerns about how to properly implement delays or suspensions in your workflows, please review the Pipedream documentation on event history, which includes information on paused workflow executions. Additionally, ensure that you’re using the appropriate methods ($.flow.delay
or $.flow.suspend
) for pausing your workflow. Remember, using setTimeout
or sleep
in Node.js or Python steps will not pause the workflow in the same way and will leave it in an “Executing” state. If you need further assistance or have specific questions about implementing delays or handling workflow pauses, please visit Pipedream support.
