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.

Schedule Overview#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.

Trigger Code#

import schedule from "../../schedule.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Custom Interval",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "schedule-custom-interval",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow every N hours, minutes or seconds.",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
    },
  },
};

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
Schedule	`schedule`	`app`	This component uses the Schedule app.
Cron Schedule	`cron`	`$.interface.timer`	Enter a cron expression

Trigger Authentication#

The Schedule API does not require authentication.

Action#

Add Single Row on CloudTables

Description:Add a single row of data into CloudTable data set

Version:0.0.1

Key:cloudtables-add-single-row

View on GitHub

CloudTables Overview#

CloudTables API allows the creation and manipulation of sophisticated and dynamic data tables in the cloud. With this API, you can manage table schemas, insert, update, and fetch data in real time, and control access with fine-grained permissions. Leveraging CloudTables on Pipedream, you can automate data flows, sync with other services, and respond to events—think of it as supercharging your data tables with the power of integration and automation.

Action Code#

import cloudtables from "../../cloudtables.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "cloudtables-add-single-row",
  name: "Add Single Row",
  description: "Add a single row of data into CloudTable data set",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    cloudtables,
    datasetID: {
      propDefinition: [
        cloudtables,
        "datasetID",
      ],
      withLabel: true,
      reloadProps: true,
    },
  },
  async additionalProps() {
    const datasetID = this.datasetID?.value ?? this.datasetID;
    const dataSetSchema = await this.cloudtables.getDataSetSchema(datasetID);
    const { datapoints } = dataSetSchema;

    const props = {};
    for (const datapoint of datapoints) {
      // the column type is not available in cloudtables API
      props[`col_${datapoint.id}`] = {
        type: "string",
        label: datapoint.name,
        optional: true,
      };
    }

    return props;
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const datasetID = this.datasetID?.value ?? this.datasetID;
    const dataSetSchema = await this.cloudtables.getDataSetSchema(datasetID);
    const { datapoints } = dataSetSchema;

    if (datapoints.length === 0) {
      throw new Error(`No data points available at [${datasetID}].`);
    }

    const rowData = datapoints
      .reduce((prevValue, currValue) => {
        return {
          ...prevValue,
          [currValue.id]: this[`col_${currValue.id}`],
        };
      }, {});

    const postRowResponse = await this.cloudtables.postRowIntoDataSet(datasetID, rowData);

    $.export("$summary", `Added 1 row to [${datasetID}].`);

    return postRowResponse;
  },
};

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
CloudTables	`cloudtables`	`app`	This component uses the CloudTables app.
Data set	`datasetID`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

To connect your CloudTables account with Pipedream,

Copy your custom subdomain from the Setting page of your CloudTables. You can also copy it from the URL directly (if the URL is https://123abc.cloudtables.com, your subdomain is 123abc.
Copy your api_key from the Security page of your CloudTables account.
