Is There a Way to Create a Custom Trigger or Readily Available Workaround in Pipedream?

I know there’s no way to create a custom trigger but is this something that will be available soon? or any workaround for now?

I know I can set it up on another server but I’m trying to do everything within Pipedream.

You definitely can create custom sources (triggers)! Sources

Hi , I don’t see that is possible with a Node.js

I want to build a custom trigger with a Node.js module

Here’s a link to the quickstart tutorial, which walks you through creating your own event source in Node.js Quickstart: Source Development

I’ll take a look, thanks.

I checked that deeply but I’m wondering if there’s any easier way to do that like building a custom action…

Which part are you getting stuck at? It’s a pretty similar process to building a custom action.

Do you typically develop custom actions in the builder directly, or locally and publish via the CLI?

Yes, I develop custom actions in the builder directly

If it was the same process for custom triggers it was very easy for me

I see. We actually have a rough prototype for this internally but it’s not currently exposed to users. I’m chatting w/ the team about this.

Ok thanks.

What about custom domain for Webhooks? is it on the road map?

We actually just shipped custom domains for webhooks! If you add a new webhooks trigger to a workflow you should see an option to upgrade to the Business plan in order to configure it.

We’re going to announce this soon

Ok I see but it’s available only for the Business plan and it’s limited for 3.
I can’t afford the Business plan at this time but I can use an external proxy for it and send it to Pipedream

By the way we’re evaluating all the prices for our plans, so this is likely to change soon :slightly_smiling_face:

Means it will be cheaper or more expensive? :slightly_smiling_face:

The platform fee (monthly base price) will likely be cheaper, with fewer included credits, but the exact details are still being worked out.
