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#

SSL Expiration (Instant) on Updown.io

Description:Emit new event when an SSL certificate expiration is detected [See the documentation](https://updown.io/api#webhooks)

Version:0.0.1

Updown.io Overview#

The Updown.io API allows you to interact programmatically with your website monitoring service. With this API, you can automate uptime checks, retrieve the status of your websites, manage checks, receive downtime alerts, and gather performance metrics. Integrating the Updown.io API with Pipedream enables you to create automated workflows that can respond to events, monitor services continuously, and connect with other apps to trigger actions based on the health and performance of your websites.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "updown_io-ssl-expiration-instant",
  name: "SSL Expiration (Instant)",

  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    threshold: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Threshold",
      description: "Days before SSL expiration to emit an event",
      options: [
        "1",
        "7",
        "14",
        "30",
      ],
      optional: true,

      return !this.threshold
        || (event?.ssl && event.ssl.days_before_expiration === +this.threshold);
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Updown.io	`updown`	`app`	This component uses the Updown.io app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Threshold	`threshold`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`171430`

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API keys,

Navigate to your Updown.io account and sign in
Go to “Settings” > “API”

About Updown.io#

updown.io is a HTTP(S)/TCP/ICMP monitoring service which checks periodically the URL you want and reports back any anomaly, be it downtime, bad response, degraded performance or even broken SSL certificate.

Action#

Append Block to Parent on Notion

Description:Creates and appends blocks to the specified parent. [See the documentation](https://developers.notion.com/reference/patch-block-children)

Notion Overview#

Notion's API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deleting of pages, databases, and their contents within Notion. Using Pipedream's platform, you can build workflows that connect Notion with various other services to automate tasks such as content management, task tracking, and data synchronization. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can trigger these workflows on a schedule, or by external events from other services, without managing any infrastructure.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Notion	`notion`	`app`	This component uses the Notion app.
Parent Block ID	`pageId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Notion API.

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