How do i step through a results array
To iterate through a results array in your Pipedream workflow, you can use a code step with a loop. Here’s an example of how to iterate through an array of results and perform an action for each item: 1. Add a new code step after the step that retrieves the results array. 2. In the code step, use a loop like for
or forEach
to iterate through the results array. For example: const results = steps.your_previous_step_name.results; // Replace with the actual step name and variable containing the results array results.forEach(async (item) => { // Perform an action for each item, e.g., create a page in Notion await steps.your_notion_step_name.$run({ // Replace with the actual Notion step name // Pass the required parameters for the Notion step, using the item data title: item.title, description: item.description, }); });
Replace your_previous_step_name
, results
, and your_notion_step_name
with the appropriate step names and variable names from your workflow. This code will iterate through the results array and execute the specified action for each item.
what is wrong with this code
// Replace with the actual step name and variable containing the results array
const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items[0].snippet;
// Perform an action for each item, e.g., create a page in Notion
results.forEach(async (_item) => {
await steps.post_videos_to_notion.$run({
// Pass the required parameters for the Notion step, using the item data
name: snippet.title,
description: snippet.description,
Video_ID: id.videoId,
Thumbnail: snippet.thumbnails.high.url
});
});
It looks like you’re trying to iterate through the results array, but you’re only selecting the first item’s snippet in the array. Also, you should use item
instead of snippet
and id
in the loop. Here’s the corrected code: ```
// Replace with the actual step name and variable containing the results array const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items; // Perform an action for each item, e.g., create a page in Notion results.forEach(async (item) => { await steps.post_videos_to_notion.$run({ // Pass the required parameters for the Notion step, using the item data name: item.snippet.title, description: item.snippet.description, Video_ID: item.id.videoId, Thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url }); });
— This code returns “Step not defined” error. WHy>
// Replace with the actual step name and variable containing the results array
const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items;
// Perform an action for each item, e.g., create a page in Notion
results.forEach(async (item) => {
await steps.post_videos_to_notion.$run({
// Pass the required parameters for the Notion step, using the item data
name: item.snippet.title,
description: item.snippet.description,
video_id: item.id.videoId,
thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url
});
});
It seems like there might be a misunderstanding in the usage of the steps
variable. In this case, you’re trying to use the steps
variable to reference another step in the workflow, but this is not how it should be done within a code step. Instead, you should add a new Notion step after the code step in your workflow, and use the exported data from the code step to populate the required fields in the Notion step. Here’s how you can modify your code step to export the data: const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items; results.forEach((item, index) => { $.export(`video_${index}`, { name: item.snippet.title, description: item.snippet.description, video_id: item.id.videoId, thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url }); });
Now, in your Notion step, you can reference the exported data from the code step like this: steps.your_code_step_name.video_0.name steps.your_code_step_name.video_0.description steps.your_code_step_name.video_0.video_id steps.your_code_step_name.video_0.thumbnail
Replace your_code_step_name
with the actual name of your code step in the workflow. You’ll need to add a separate Notion step for each video you want to create a page for, and update the index (e.g., video_1
, video_2
, etc.) accordingly.
— This code returns “Step not defined” error at Line 2:17. Why?
// Replace with the actual step name and variable containing the results array
const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items;
// Perform an action for each item, e.g., create a page in Notion
results.forEach(async (item) => {
await steps.post_videos_to_notion.$run({
// Pass the required parameters for the Notion step, using the item data
name: item.snippet.title,
description: item.snippet.description,
video_id: item.id.videoId,
thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url
});
});
I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems I misunderstood the context of your code. Since you’re trying to run the Notion step within the forEach loop, you cannot use the steps
variable directly in this manner. Instead, you can use a different approach to achieve the same result. First, add a new action step for Notion after your code step, and name it post_videos_to_notion
. Then, modify your code step as follows: const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items; // Create an array to store the promises for each Notion step const notionPromises = []; results.forEach((item) => { // Create a promise for each Notion step and add it to the array notionPromises.push( steps.post_videos_to_notion.$run({ name: item.snippet.title, description: item.snippet.description, video_id: item.id.videoId, thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url, }) ); }); // Wait for all Notion steps to complete await Promise.all(notionPromises);
This code will create a promise for each Notion step and add it to the notionPromises
array. Then, it will wait for all the promises to complete using Promise.all()
. Make sure to update the Notion step to use the correct input parameters from the code step.
the following code throws the following syntax error at line 19
“await is only valid in async function”
const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items;
// Create an array to store the promises for each Notion step
const notionPromises = [];
results.forEach((item) => {
// Create a promise for each Notion step and add it to the array
notionPromises.push(
steps.post_videos_to_notion.$run({
name: item.snippet.title,
description: item.snippet.description,
video_id: item.id.videoId,
thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url,
})
);
});
// Wait for all Notion steps to complete
await Promise.all(notionPromises);
I apologize for the oversight. The error occurs because the await
keyword is used outside of an async
function. To fix this, you can wrap the code in an async function and call it. Here’s the corrected code: const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items; // Create an array to store the promises for each Notion step const notionPromises = []; results.forEach((item) => { // Create a promise for each Notion step and add it to the array notionPromises.push( steps.post_videos_to_notion.$run({ name: item.snippet.title, description: item.snippet.description, video_id: item.id.videoId, thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url, }) ); }); // Wrap the code in an async function and call it (async () => { // Wait for all Notion steps to complete await Promise.all(notionPromises); })();
This code wraps the await Promise.all(notionPromises);
line in an async function and immediately calls it, ensuring that the await
keyword is used within an async function.

I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems there was a misunderstanding in the usage of the steps
variable. In this case, you should use the pd
npm package to run the Notion action within the loop. First, you need to install the pd
package by adding this import at the top of your code: import pd from "pd";
Then, modify your code as follows: const results = steps.get_youtube_videos.$return_value.items; // Create an array to store the promises for each Notion step const notionPromises = []; results.forEach((item) => { // Create a promise for each Notion step and add it to the array notionPromises.push( pd.run({ type: "action", app: "notion", name: "post_videos_to_notion", input: { name: item.snippet.title, description: item.snippet.description, video_id: item.id.videoId, thumbnail: item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url, }, }) ); }); (async () => { // Wait for all Notion steps to complete await Promise.all(notionPromises); })();
This code uses the pd.run()
function from the pd
package to run the Notion action within the loop. Make sure to update the Notion action name and input parameters accordingly.
