ProdPad Overview#

The ProdPad API taps into the core functionalities of product management, allowing you to automate interactions with your product backlog, roadmaps, and idea pools. With Pipedream's serverless execution environment, you can trigger workflows based on events in ProdPad, sync data across multiple platforms, and create custom automations to streamline your product management processes. ProdPad's API lets you seamlessly integrate with other tools to keep your team aligned, informed, and productive.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "prodpad-new-idea-created",
  name: "New Idea Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new idea is created. [See the docs](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/ProdPad/prodpad/1.0#/Ideas/GetIdeas).",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getRequestResourcesFn() {
      return this.app.listIdeas;
    },
    getResourceName() {
      return "ideas";
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        ts: Date.parse(resource.created_at),
        summary: `New Idea ${resource.id}`,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
ProdPad	`app`	`app`	This component uses the ProdPad app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API

Trigger Authentication#

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

To generate an API key, go to your Profile settings, then navigate to "API key" to get or regenerate your API key.

Google Docs Overview#

The Google Docs API allows you to create, read, and update Google Docs programmatically, enabling a wide range of automations and integrations with other apps and services. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to craft custom serverless workflows that trigger on various events, like form submissions, emails, or scheduled times, and perform actions like updating a document, extracting content, or even generating templated reports.

Action Code#

import googleDocs from "../../google_docs.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "google_docs-append-text",
  name: "Append Text",
  description: "Append text to an existing document. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/docs/api/reference/rest/v1/documents/request#InsertTextRequest)",
  version: "0.1.3",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    googleDocs,
    docId: {
      propDefinition: [
        googleDocs,
        "docId",
      ],
    },
    text: {
      propDefinition: [
        googleDocs,
        "text",
      ],
    },
    appendAtBeginning: {
      propDefinition: [
        googleDocs,
        "appendAtBeginning",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    await this.googleDocs.insertText(this.docId, {
      text: this.text,
    }, this.appendAtBeginning);
    const doc = this.googleDocs.getDocument(this.docId);
    $.export("$summary", `Successfully appended text to document with ID: ${this.docId}`);
    return doc;
  },
};

Action Authentication#

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

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
