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.

New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

Trigger Code#

	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often you want to poll the feed for new items
Feed URL	`url`	`string`	Enter the URL for any public RSS feed
Published After	`publishedAfter`	`string`	Emit items published after the specified date in ISO 8601 format .e.g `2022-12-07T12:57:10+07:00`

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.
