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.

Fauna Overview#

Fauna API offers a powerful serverless database solution for modern applications. Its unique capabilities allow for highly scalable, secure, and flexible data management. With Pipedream, you can harness the power of Fauna to create intricate serverless workflows that react to various triggers, manage data efficiently, and connect seamlessly with other services and APIs to automate complex tasks.

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
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Fauna	`fauna`	`app`	This component uses the Fauna app.
Collection	`collection`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Emit changes as a single event	`emitEventsInBatch`	`boolean`	If `true`, all events are emitted as an array, within a single Pipedream event. Defaults to `false`, emitting each event in Fauna as its own event in Pipedream

Trigger Authentication#

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

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/)",

    },
    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) {

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:
