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.

Microsoft SQL Server Overview#

With the Microsoft SQL Server API on Pipedream, you can automate your database operations and create powerful integrations. This API allows you to execute queries, manage databases, and trigger actions based on data changes. Implementing workflows that react to database events, manipulate data, or synchronize SQL Server data with other services, becomes effortless with Pipedream's serverless platform.

Trigger Code#

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from "uuid";
import common from "../common/polling.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "microsoft_sql_server-new-column",
  name: "New Column",
  description: "Triggers when a new column is added to a table. [See the documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-catalog-views/sys-columns-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.5",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    table: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.app,
        "table",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getCurrentColumns() {
      return this.db.get(constants.CURRENT_COLUMNS) || [];
    },
    setCurrentColumns(columns) {
      this.db.set(constants.CURRENT_COLUMNS, columns);
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: uuidv4(),
        summary: `New Column Added: ${resource.COLUMN_NAME}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
    async listResults() {
      const {
        app,
        table,
        getCurrentColumns,
      } = this;

      const columns = getCurrentColumns();
      const { recordset } = await app.listNewColumns({
        table,
        columns,
      });

      const newColumns = recordset.map(({ COLUMN_NAME: column }) => column);

      this.processResources(recordset);
      this.setCurrentColumns(newColumns.concat(columns));
    },
  },
};

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
Microsoft SQL Server	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Microsoft SQL Server 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
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Microsoft SQL Server database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is either:

Accessible from the public internet (You may need to add a firewall rule on 0.0.0.0/0 on port 1433), or
Accessible from a static IP that you've configured from a VPC in Pipedream, and enabled the workflow to connect through that VPC

Typeform Overview#

The Typeform API furnishes you with the means to create dynamic forms and collect user responses in real-time. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows to process this data, integrate seamlessly with other services, and react to form submissions instantaneously. This empowers you to craft tailored responses, synchronize with databases, trigger email campaigns, or even manage event registrations without manual intervention.

Action Code#

import typeform from "../../typeform.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "typeform-create-image",
  name: "Create an Image",
  description: "Adds an image in your Typeform account. [See the docs here](https://developer.typeform.com/create/reference/create-image/)",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.2",
  props: {
    typeform,
    fileName: {
      type: "string",
      label: "File name",
      description: "File name for the image",
    },
    image: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Base64 image",
      description: "Base64 code for the image. Note that base64 encoders may add descriptors to the code (such as `data:image/png;base64,`). Do not include these descriptors in your image string---include only the base64 code. We also recommend that you don't paste the exact string value into this property box. Instead you can [pass an expression](https://pipedream.com/docs/workflows/steps/params/#entering-expressions) that references a variable from a previous step such as `{{steps.nodejs.$return_value}}`.",
      optional: true,
    },
    url: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Image's URL",
      description: "URL of the image to be added in your Typeform account",
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    if (!this.image && !this.url) {
      throw new Error("This action requires either Base64 image or Image's URL. Please enter one or the other above.");
    }

    const data = {
      file_name: this.fileName,
      image: this.image,
      url: this.url,
    };

    const resp = await this.typeform.createImage({
      $,
      data,
    });

    $.export("$summary", "Successfully added a new image to your account");

    return resp;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Typeform	`typeform`	`app`	This component uses the Typeform app.
File name	`fileName`	`string`	File name for the image
Base64 image	`image`	`string`	Base64 code for the image. Note that base64 encoders may add descriptors to the code (such as `data:image/png;base64,`). Do not include these descriptors in your image string---include only the base64 code. We also recommend that you don't paste the exact string value into this property box. Instead you can pass an expression that references a variable from a previous step such as `{{steps.nodejs.$return_value}}`.
Image's URL	`url`	`string`	URL of the image to be added in your Typeform account

Action Authentication#

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

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