Exact Overview#

The Exact API provides a suite of endpoints for interacting with Exact's cloud-based financial software, which includes tools for accounting, CRM, and ERP functionalities. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate data flows across various business functions, sync financial records, manage customer relationships, and streamline operational processes. Pipedream's serverless execution model allows for crafting intricate workflows that respond in real-time to events, schedule operations, and connect with countless other apps to extend the functionality of Exact's ecosystem.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "exact-new-account-created",
  name: "New Account Created",
  description: "Emit new event each time a new account is created. [See the docs](https://start.exactonline.nl/docs/HlpRestAPIResourcesDetails.aspx?name=CRMAccounts)",

  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getResults(division) {
      return this.exact.listAccounts(division);
    },
    getCreatedTs(account) {
      return account.Created.match(/\d+/)[0];
    },
    generateMeta(account) {
      return {
        id: account.ID,
        summary: account.Name,
        ts: this.getCreatedTs(account),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Exact	`exact`	`app`	This component uses the Exact app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Short.io Overview#

Short.io provides a robust API for URL shortening, allowing you to create, delete, and track shortened links programmatically. By integrating with Pipedream, you can automate link creation or aggregation of click data in real-time, triggering workflows in response to events like link clicks or creating short links in bulk from a data source.

    ]);
    const link = await this.shortApp.createLink($, param);
    $.export("$summary", `Successfully created the link: ${link.secureShortURL}`);
