I want to use Pipedream to connect to ConvertKit and add a subscriber. Do you know if there is a way to add custom data to that subscriber?
To add a subscriber to ConvertKit using Pipedream, you can use the “Add subscriber to a form” action. However, adding custom data to a subscriber isn’t directly supported through this action. You may need to use the ConvertKit API to achieve this. Here’s how you can use the “Add subscriber to a form” action in Pipedream: 1. Search for the ConvertKit app from the step menu in your Pipedream workflow. 2. Select the “Add subscriber to a form” action. 3. Connect your ConvertKit account by providing your API Key and Secret. 4. Select a Subscriber or pass a string from a previous step. 5. Select a Form or pass an integer from a previous step. 6. At the bottom of the step, click Test to run the action and test the configuration. For adding custom data, you might need to make a direct API call to ConvertKit. Here’s an example of how you can make a request to the ConvertKit API using a Pipedream component: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { convertkit: { type: "app", app: "convertkit", }, email: { type: "string", label: "Subscriber Email", }, firstName: { type: "string", label: "First Name", optional: true, }, customField: { type: "string", label: "Custom Field", optional: true, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { return await axios($, { url: `https://api.convertkit.com/v3/forms/YOUR_FORM_ID/subscribe`, method: "POST", params: { api_key: `${this.convertkit.$auth.api_key}`, }, data: { email: this.email, first_name: this.firstName, fields: { custom_field: this.customField, }, }, }); }, }); Replace YOUR_FORM_ID with the ID of the form you want to add the subscriber to. This example includes a custom field, which you can modify as needed. Make sure to replace custom_field with the actual field name you want to use in ConvertKit. If you need further assistance or have specific requirements, please refer to the ConvertKit API documentation or visit Pipedream support.
I have the following custom fields I want to add data to:
EARNING HIGH,
EARNING LOW,
INSTAGRAM
How can I add data to those fields in ConvertKit?
To add data to custom fields in ConvertKit, you can use the ConvertKit API to update subscriber information with the desired custom field values. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this using Pipedream: 1. Search for the ConvertKit app in the Pipedream UI. 2. Select the appropriate action to update subscriber fields. While Pipedream doesn’t have a specific pre-built action for updating custom fields, you can use a custom code step to achieve this. 3. Connect your ConvertKit account. Ensure you have your API key and secret ready. 4. Use the following Pipedream component code to update the custom fields: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { convertkit: { type: "app", app: "convertkit", }, subscriberId: { type: "string", label: "Subscriber ID", description: "The ID of the subscriber you want to update", }, earningHigh: { type: "string", label: "Earning High", }, earningLow: { type: "string", label: "Earning Low", }, instagram: { type: "string", label: "Instagram", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const url = `https://api.convertkit.com/v3/subscribers/${this.subscriberId}`; const params = { api_key: `${this.convertkit.$auth.api_key}`, api_secret: `${this.convertkit.$auth.api_secret}`, fields: { EARNING_HIGH: this.earningHigh, EARNING_LOW: this.earningLow, INSTAGRAM: this.instagram, }, }; return await axios($, { method: "PUT", url, params, }); }, }); ### Explanation: - Props: The component defines props for the ConvertKit app, the subscriber ID, and the custom fields you want to update. - API Request: The code makes a PUT request to the ConvertKit API to update the subscriber’s custom fields. - Parameters: The params object includes the API key, secret, and the custom fields with their new values. 5. Test the action. At the bottom of the step, click Test to run the action and verify that the custom fields are updated correctly. This code will update the specified custom fields for a given subscriber in ConvertKit. Make sure to replace the placeholders with actual values or connect them to previous steps in your workflow.
I received the following error.
Code Error
Unterminated string constant (1:22)
It seems like you’re encountering a syntax error related to an “Unterminated string constant.” This typically means that there is a string in your code that hasn’t been properly closed with a matching quotation mark. Here’s how you can troubleshoot and fix this issue: 1. Check Your Strings: Go through your code and ensure that every string starts and ends with the same type of quotation mark (either single ' or double " quotes). 2. Look for Missing Quotes: Make sure that you haven’t accidentally left out a closing quote for any string. 3. Escape Characters: If your string contains quotes of the same type, ensure they are properly escaped. For example, in JavaScript, you can escape a double quote inside a double-quoted string like this: "This is a \"quoted\" word." 4. Review Code Context: If the error message provides a line number or a snippet of the code, focus on that part of the code to find the issue. If you continue to experience issues or need further assistance, consider reaching out to Pipedream support at Support - Pipedream. They can provide more detailed help based on your specific situation.
Please review the following code and fix any missing code syntax.
import { axios } from "@Geoffrey/platform";
export default defineComponent({
props: {
convertkit: {
type: "app",
app: "convertkit",
},
subscriberId: {
type: "string",
label: "Subscriber ID",
description: "The ID of the subscriber you want to update",
},
earningHigh: {
type: "string",
label: "Earning High",
},
earningLow: {
type: "string",
label: "Earning Low",
},
instagram: {
type: "string",
label: "Instagram",
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const url = `https://api.convertkit.com/v3/subscribers/${this.subscriberId}`;
const params = {
api_key: `${this.convertkit.$auth.api_key}`,
api_secret: `${this.convertkit.$auth.api_secret}`,
fields: {
EARNING_HIGH: this.earningHigh,
EARNING_LOW: this.earningLow,
INSTAGRAM: this.instagram,
},
};
return await axios($, {
method: "PUT",
url,
params,
});
},
});
Here’s the corrected version of your code with the necessary syntax fixes: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { convertkit: { type: "app", app: "convertkit", }, subscriberId: { type: "string", label: "Subscriber ID", description: "The ID of the subscriber you want to update", }, earningHigh: { type: "string", label: "Earning High", }, earningLow: { type: "string", label: "Earning Low", }, instagram: { type: "string", label: "Instagram", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const url = `https://api.convertkit.com/v3/subscribers/${this.subscriberId}`; const params = { api_key: this.convertkit.$auth.api_key, api_secret: this.convertkit.$auth.api_secret, fields: { EARNING_HIGH: this.earningHigh, EARNING_LOW: this.earningLow, INSTAGRAM: this.instagram, }, }; return await axios($, { method: "PUT", url, params, }); }, }); ### Key Changes: 1. Corrected the import statement to use @pipedream/platform instead of @Geoffrey/platform. 2. Removed the angle brackets around the URL string. 3. Removed unnecessary template literals for api_key and api_secret in the params object. 4. Ensured that the URL is correctly formatted without angle brackets.
Here are the steps I am doing to implement the code:
ADD ACTION
CONVERTKIT > Use any ConvertKit API in Node.js.
I connect my account.
I paste the code:
import { axios } from "@Geoffrey/platform";
export default defineComponent({
props: {
convertkit: {
type: "app",
app: "convertkit",
},
subscriberId: {
type: "string",
label: "Subscriber ID",
description: "The ID of the subscriber you want to update",
},
earningHigh: {
type: "string",
label: "Earning High",
},
earningLow: {
type: "string",
label: "Earning Low",
},
instagram: {
type: "string",
label: "Instagram",
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const url = `https://api.convertkit.com/v3/subscribers/${this.subscriberId}`;
const params = {
api_key: this.convertkit.$auth.api_key,
api_secret: this.convertkit.$auth.api_secret,
fields: {
EARNING_HIGH: this.earningHigh,
EARNING_LOW: this.earningLow,
INSTAGRAM: this.instagram,
},
};
return await axios($, {
method: "PUT",
url,
params,
});
},
});
I get the following error:
Code Error
Unterminated string constant (1:22)
Please help me determine what is the problem.
The error you’re encountering, “Unterminated string constant,” is due to the incorrect use of angle brackets (< >) around the URL in your code. These brackets are not valid in JavaScript string literals. You should replace them with backticks (`) to create a template literal, which allows you to embed expressions inside the string. Here’s the corrected code: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { convertkit: { type: “app”, app: “convertkit”, }, subscriberId: { type: “string”, label: “Subscriber ID”, description: “The ID of the subscriber you want to update”, }, earningHigh: { type: “string”, label: “Earning High”, }, earningLow: { type: “string”, label: “Earning Low”, }, instagram: { type: “string”, label: “Instagram”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const url = https://api.convertkit.com/v3/subscribers/${this.subscriberId}; const params = { api_key: this.convertkit.$auth.api_key, api_secret: this.convertkit.$auth.api_secret, fields: { EARNING_HIGH: this.earningHigh, EARNING_LOW: this.earningLow, INSTAGRAM: this.instagram, }, }; return await axios($, { method: “PUT”, url, params, }); }, });
Still having issues.
I changed the first line to:
import { axios } from "@Geoffrey/platform";
And that made it worse.
It looks like there was a mistake in the import statement you used. The correct import statement for using axios in Pipedream should be: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; Make sure to use the correct package name, @pipedream/platform, instead of @Geoffrey/platform. This should resolve the issue you’re facing. If you continue to experience problems, please let me know, and I’ll be happy to help further.
I now have a new error:
Code Error
Unterminated string constant (2:22)
The error message you’re encountering, “Unterminated string constant (2:22)”, suggests that there’s a string in your code that hasn’t been properly closed with a matching quotation mark. This typically occurs when a string is started with a single or double quote but is not ended with the same quote. Here’s how you can resolve this issue: 1. Check Your Strings: Go through your code and ensure that every string that starts with a quote (' or ") is properly closed with the same quote. For example: ```
// Incorrect const message = "Hello, world; // Correct const message = “Hello, world”;
I was able to get the form working.
Upon testing it, I am getting the following error:

Any ideas why this might be happening?
The error message you’re encountering, TypeError: Invalid URL, typically indicates that the URL being used in your HTTP request is not correctly formatted. This can happen if the URL is missing a protocol (like http:// or https://), or if it’s an empty string or otherwise malformed. Here are a few steps to help you troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Check the URL: Ensure that the URL you’re using in your axios request is complete and correctly formatted. It should start with http:// or https://. 2. Log the URL: Before making the request, log the URL to the console to verify that it’s what you expect. This can help you catch any issues with how the URL is being constructed. 3. Verify Dynamic Parts: If your URL includes dynamic parts (e.g., query parameters or path variables), make sure these are being correctly interpolated. For example, if you’re using template literals, ensure that all variables are defined and contain valid values. 4. Example Code: Here’s an example of how you might structure an axios request in a Pipedream component to ensure the URL is correctly formatted: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const baseUrl = “https://example.com”; // Replace with your base URL const endpoint = “/api/data”; // Replace with your endpoint const url = ${baseUrl}${endpoint}; console.log(“Request URL:”, url); // Log the URL for debugging return await axios($, { url, method: “GET”, // or “POST”, “PUT”, etc. headers: { “Content-Type”: “application/json”, }, // Add other axios config options as needed }); }, });
