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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "intercom-new-company",
  name: "New Companies",
  description: "Emit new event each time a new company is added.",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    generateMeta({
      id, name, created_at: createdAt,
    }) {
      return {
        id,
        summary: name,
        ts: createdAt,
      };
    },
  },
  async run() {
    let lastCompanyCreatedAt = this._getLastUpdate();

    const companies = await this.intercom.getCompanies(lastCompanyCreatedAt);
    for (const company of companies) {
      if (company.created_at > lastCompanyCreatedAt)
        lastCompanyCreatedAt = company.created_at;
      const meta = this.generateMeta(company);
      this.$emit(company, meta);
    }

    this._setLastUpdate(lastCompanyCreatedAt);
  },
};

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
Intercom	`intercom`	`app`	This component uses the Intercom app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Data Stores Overview#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.
