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 Row Created on Coda

Coda Overview#

The Coda API enables you to interact with your Coda docs for both data retrieval and manipulation. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate document updates, synchronize data across different platforms, orchestrate complex workflows, and react to changes in real-time. Coda’s tables can act as dynamic databases that interconnect with various services, allowing you to streamline operations that depend on the timely and accurate exchange of information.

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
Coda	`coda`	`app`	This component uses the Coda app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Doc ID	`docId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table ID	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Include Updated Rows	`includeUpdates`	`boolean`	Emit events for updates on existing rows?

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Coda#

Coda is familiar like a doc and engaging like an app, so your team can jump in quickly, collaborate effectively, and make decisions that stick.

Action#

Add Single Row on Google Sheets

Description:Add a single row of data to Google Sheets

Version:2.1.3

Key:google_sheets-add-single-row

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.
