Airtable Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

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
Airtable	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
View	`viewId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Return Fields By Field ID	`returnFieldsByFieldId`	`boolean`	An optional boolean value that lets you return field objects where the key is the field id. This defaults to `false`, which returns field objects where the key is the field name.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read

Orca Scan Overview#

The Orca Scan API is a gateway to integrate barcode scanning and inventory management capabilities into various workflows. By leveraging the API, you can automate data collection, streamline inventory tracking, and sync your barcode scanning data with other systems. When used on Pipedream, you can merge Orca Scan functionalities with countless other apps, creating custom automation rules, processing data, and managing inventory in real-time. Ideal for inventory management, asset tracking, and data collection automation, the Orca Scan API is a tool that can adapt to a myriad of business needs.

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
Orca Scan	`orca_scan`	`app`	This component uses the Orca Scan app.
Sheet ID	`sheetId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Row Data	`rowData`	`object`	The data for the new row to be added or updated. To get the fields, use the `Find Row` action to find a row and refer to the JSON output.
Barcode	`barcode`	`string`	The barcode value to locate a specific row record. If the barcode is not found, a new row will be created. If the barcode is found, the row will be updated with the data in `Row Data`.

Action Authentication#

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