MySQL Overview#

MySQL is a powerful database management system used by some of the largest
organizations in the world, including Facebook, Google, and Amazon. MySQL is an
open-source relational database management system (RDBMS), as well as a popular
choice for web applications used by millions of websites.

Some applications that can be built using the MySQL API include:

A web application that stores and retrieves data from a MySQL database
A desktop application that uses a MySQL database for data storage
A mobile application that interacts with a MySQL database

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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
De-duplication Key	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Where condition	`condition`	`string`	In this expression you can write your own conditions (eg. `column1 = ? or column2 = ?`). Depending on the number of `?` symbols likewise you need to add the same number of values.
Values	`values`	`string[]`	This is the list of values that will match every `?` symbol in the where expression. If you want to build yourself the values (eg. `{{["string1", "string2"]}}`)

Trigger Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your MySQL database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is either:

Accessible from the public internet (You may need to add a firewall rule on 0.0.0.0/0 on port 3306), or
Accessible from an SSH server that you route MySQL requests through

After that, enter the following values:

host: The hostname or IP address of your MySQL server
port: 3306, unless you run MySQL on a different port
username: The account username to log in
password: The account password to log in
database: The name of the MySQL database to run queries against

Action#

Add Multiple Rows on Google Sheets

Description:Add multiple rows of data to a Google Sheet

Version:0.2.2

Key:google_sheets-add-multiple-rows

Google Sheets Overview#

Some examples of things you can build using the Google Sheets API include:

A web app that lets users input data into a Google Sheet
A script that automatically updates a Google Sheet with data from another
source
A tool that generates graphs and charts from data in a Google Sheet
A service that sends data from a Google Sheet to another API or application

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.
Sheet Name	`sheetName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Row Values	`rows`	`string`	Provide an array of arrays. Each nested array should represent a row, with each element of the nested array representing a cell/column value (e.g., passing `[["Foo",1,2],["Bar",3,4]]` will insert two rows of data with three columns each). The most common pattern is to reference an array of arrays exported by a previous step (e.g., `{{steps.foo.$return_value}}`). You may also enter or construct a string that will `JSON.parse()` to 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:
