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.

Thinkific Overview#

Thinkific's API opens a treasure trove of possibilities for automating and enhancing the e-learning experience. It provides programmatic access to your Thinkific site, allowing you to manage courses, users, enrollments, and more. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect Thinkific to a multitude of other applications, automate tasks, sync data across various services, and trigger workflows based on specific events, all without writing a line of server code.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "thinkific-lesson-completed-instant",
  name: "New Lesson Completed (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a user completes a lesson in a course.",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getTopic() {
      return "lesson.completed";
    },
    getSummary(event) {
      return `Lesson Completed: ${event.payload.lesson.name}`;
    },
  },
  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
Thinkific	`thinkific`	`app`	This component uses the Thinkific 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.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Login to your Thinkific account, then navigate to Settings -> Code & Analytics -> API to find your API Key and your Thinkific subdomain.

Action#

Compare Arrays on Helper Functions

Description:Get the difference, intersection, union, or symetric difference of two arrays/sets.

Version:0.0.2

Helper Functions Overview#

The Helper Functions app on Pipedream is a set of pre-built functions that streamline common tasks in your workflows. It acts like a Swiss Army knife for developers, providing essential tools such as format conversion, date manipulation, and text processing. By leveraging these functions, you can reduce the boilerplate code needed for routine operations, speeding up the development of intricate automations. The Helper Functions API can be a game changer when it comes to tasks like parsing dates in user-friendly formats, encoding and decoding data, or generating UUIDs, making them more efficient and less error-prone.
