1. Connect your InsertChat account
2. Configure timer
Configure the Add Single Row action
1. Connect your Google Sheets account
2. Optional- Select a Drive
3. Select a Spreadsheet
4. Select one or more Worksheet(s)
5. Configure Does the first row of the sheet have headers?
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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#

New Lead Created on InsertChat

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "insertchat-new-lead",
  name: "New Lead Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new lead is created.",
  version: "0.0.1",

      return this.insertchat.listLeads;
    },
    getSummary(item) {
      return `New Lead ID: ${item.uid}`;
    },
  },
};

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
InsertChat	`insertchat`	`app`	This component uses the InsertChat app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Add Single Row on Google Sheets

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

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(s)	`worksheetId`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Does the first row of the sheet have headers?	`hasHeaders`	`boolean`	If the first row of your document has headers, we'll retrieve them to make it easy to enter the value for each column. Note: When using a dynamic reference for the worksheet ID (e.g. `{{steps.foo.$return_value}}`), this setting is ignored.
