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#

Task Status Updated on Motion

Description:Emit new event when the status of a specific task is updated.

Version:0.0.1

Motion Overview#

The Motion API empowers users to streamline project management and productivity tasks. Within Pipedream's environment, you can leverage this API to automate actions based on project updates, task completions, and team collaborations. It's a toolset that sails smoothly with Pipedream's knack for creating swift integrations and workflows, making it possible to connect Motion with other apps to optimize project tracking, notifications, and data synchronization.

Trigger Code#

import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

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
Motion	`motion`	`app`	This component uses the Motion app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Motion API on this schedule
Task Id	`taskId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Action#

Add Multiple Rows on Google Sheets

Description:Add multiple rows of data to a Google Sheet. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/append)

Version:0.2.9

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:
