Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Course Activity on Illumidesk

Illumidesk Overview#

The Illumidesk API integrates virtual learning environments with tools that facilitate instruction and collaboration. On Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate educational workflows, manage courses, and interact with users. Pipedream’s serverless platform lets you create workflows triggered by various events without maintaining infrastructure, focusing on the logic and integration between services.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "illumidesk-new-course-activity",
  name: "New Course Activity",
  description: "Emit new event when a new course activity is created",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    courseSlug: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.illumidesk,
        "courseSlug",
        (c) => ({
          campusSlug: c.campusSlug,
        }),
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.illumidesk.listCourseActivities;
    },
    getArgs() {
      return {
        courseSlug: this.courseSlug,
      };
    },
    generateMeta(activity) {
      return {
        id: activity.uuid,
        summary: activity.title,
        ts: Date.parse(activity[this.getTsField()]),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Illumidesk	`illumidesk`	`app`	This component uses the Illumidesk app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Campus Slug	`campusSlug`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Course ID	`courseSlug`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Illumidesk uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Illumidesk account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Illumidesk APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets app.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Spreadsheet	`sheetId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Worksheet Id	`worksheetId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Row Values	`rows`	`string`	Provide an array of arrays
Reset Row Format	`resetRowFormat`	`boolean`	Reset the formatting of the rows that were added (line style to none, background to white, foreground color to black, font size to 10, no bold, no italic, no strikethrough, horizontalAlignment to left). This is useful if you want to add rows to a formatted table in Google Sheets.

Action Authentication#

Google Sheets uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Sheets account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Sheets and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Sheets API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
