New Documents on Readwise

Readwise Overview#

The Readwise API allows you to access and manipulate your Readwise data, which includes highlights, notes, and books from your reading list. With this API, you can automate the retrieval of your reading highlights, synchronize them across various platforms, or trigger custom actions based on new highlights added. Pipedream, as a serverless integration and compute platform, enables you to create workflows that leverage the Readwise API to build powerful automations, connecting your reading insights to countless other apps and services to enrich productivity and data management.

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
Readwise	`readwise`	`app`	This component uses the Readwise app.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream polls the Readwise API on this schedule
Location	`location`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`newlatershortlistarchivefeed`
Category	`category`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`articleemailrsshighlightnotepdfepubtweetvideo`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Add Single Row on Google Sheets

Description:Add a single row of data to Google Sheets

Version:2.1.4

View on GitHub

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.
