Getting Started#

This integration creates a workflow with a Workast trigger and Filter action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

Select this integration
Configure the New Task trigger
1. Connect your Workast account
2. Configure timer
3. Select a List/Space ID
Configure the Continue execution if a condition Is met action
1. Connect your Filter account
2. Optional- Configure Reason for continuing
3. Optional- Configure Reason for ending
4. Configure Initial value
5. Select a Condition
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

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.

Workast Overview#

The Workast API enables the automation of task management in your projects, allowing the creation, update, and tracking of tasks without leaving the context of your current workflow. With the Workast API on Pipedream, you can tap into this functionality to build seamless integrations and automate repetitive actions, such as syncing tasks across multiple platforms, generating reports, or triggering reminders and notifications based on specific task events.

Trigger Code#

import workast from "../../app/workast.app.mjs";
import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";
export default defineSource({
    key: "workast-new-task",
    name: "New Task",
    description: "Emit new event for each new task",
    version: "0.0.3",
    type: "source",
    dedupe: "unique",
    props: {
        workast,
        timer: {
            type: "$.interface.timer",
            default: {
                intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
            },
        },
        listId: {
            propDefinition: [
                workast,
                "listId",
            ],
        },
    },
    hooks: {
        async deploy() {
            const tasks = await this.workast.getTasks({
                listId: this.listId,
                params: {
                    limit: 10,
                    order: "createdAt|desc",
                },
            });
            tasks.reverse().forEach(this.emitEvent);
        },
    },
    methods: {
        emitEvent(data) {
            this.$emit(data, {
                id: data.id,
                summary: `New task created with id ${data.id}`,
                ts: Date.parse(data.createdAt),
            });
        },
    },
    async run() {
        const tasks = await this.workast.getTasks({
            listId: this.listId,
            params: {
                order: "createdAt|asc",
            },
        });
        tasks.forEach(this.emitEvent);
    },
});

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
Workast	`workast`	`app`	This component uses the Workast app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
List/Space ID	`listId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key:

Navigate to your Workast account and sign in
In Chrome you need to open the Developers tools (View -> Developer -> Developer tools)
Go to the Application tab
Navigate to cookies and you will find a cookie called token
Remember to URL decode the token before you use it with a tool like https://www.urldecoder.org/

Continue execution if a condition Is met on Filter

Filter Overview#

The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.

Action Code#

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

  type: "action",
  methods: {
    consolidateResult($, result) {
      !result && $.flow.exit(this.messageOnEnd);
      return this.messageOnContinue;
    },
  },
